Hillfire Press publishes an annual anthology of short writings, and you are holding the fourth volume! Open it and see what (less than) 2000 words can do. Hillfire Anthology is a celebration of the craft of writing, and of bringing writing out into the world. It is a showcase of individual talent, as well as of how it is transcended in collaboration. This collection of new writing brings us into liminal spaces between fiction and reality, to snowy cities and windswept moorlands, and back to the dark forest. Each piece an illumination on its own, on these pages they shine brightly together, and we could not be more excited to present them to you.
