Flame Tree Myth & Fiction

Within Latin American Shared Stories

October 23, 2025 • Flame Tree Publishing Team • Season 1 • Episode 29

If you listened to Tuesday's episode, you’ll know that this week on the LIVE AND SPOOKY edition of the podcast, we’re spotlighting our anthology, Latin American Shared Stories. A vibrant collection of speculative stories and fascinating essays highlighting the many voices, mythologies, folklore and storytelling prowess of authors from Latin American countries or writing in the traditions of the Latin American diaspora.

In that episode, we included a note from the editor V. Castro and shared two brand new short stories along with insights from their authors.

Today’s bonus episode gives the rest of the anthology’s contributors a platform to share their thoughts and inspirations behind their work. We’ll also be revealing an exclusive discount code that will get you 30% off the anthology on our website!

A big thank you to all of the anthology contributors who sent in audio clips for the podcast: V. Castro, Daniel Olivas, Alyssa Alessi, Gustavo Bondoni, David Bowles, Dr R. Andrew Chesnut, Rios de la Luz, Ivette N. Diaz, Laura Diaz de Arce, Ruth Joffre, S. Alessandro Martinez, Juliana Spink Mills, Vanessa Molina, Richie Narvaez, Wi-Moto Nyoka and A.E. Santana.

This episode was hosted by Bea.
