The NEW Series

New Lit Salon Press is the home of The NEW Series, a continuing collection of crafted anthologies offering the best in genre writing and art!

GENRE AT ITS BEST

For generations, genre fiction and literary fiction have been perceived as irreconcilable. With The NEW Series, NLSP strives to prove otherwise.

TOP NOTCH WRITING

With over 40 authors and counting, NEW features some of the best writers working in genre fiction today. Many go on to publish novels and win awards.

ORIGINAL ART

All the stories in The NEW Series are complemented by original artwork created specifically for each story by a singular artist per title.

ABOUT THE SERIES

The NEW Series is an ongoing series of illustrated anthologies that highlight the literary merits of different genres and styles often looked down upon, forgotten, or not taken too seriously in the literary community. The first three books in the series, Southern Gothic, Behind the Yellow Wallpaper, and Startling Sci-Fi explore NEW Tales of the South, Madness, and the Beyond, respectively. Each NEW title features new writing and original artwork from emerging and established writers and artists producing the best in what’s happening in the genre or style today.

WHAT’S NEXT?

The next addition to the series is First Came Fear: New Tales of Horror. And just like the Weird Sisters from Macbeth, our NEW books always come in threes, so look forward to some of these genres in the future: Mystery, LGBT Fiction, Fantasy, Romance, Absurdity, and hold your horses everyone, maybe even Western! We can’t tell you what will be next, but we can assure you it will be NEW!

‘Dinner? What about the fact I’ve been in the garden all evening?’

‘Well, what about it?’”
