Anthologies at The Authors Haunt are temporarily suspended to allow authors to work on their own original fiction and poetry, but all the anthologies that ran between January 2009 and April 2011 are still online and free to read. They are collections of stories and poetry written to a common theme and while they were running attracted a consistently high quality of writing. The 2011 Annual Poetry Anthology. A collection of poems, of varying lengths and genres, all exploring the theme Ocean.

The Authors Haunt is an online writing site dedicated to publishing quality fiction and poetry. In addition to the hundreds of stories and poems written by our Resident Authors, we also welcome authors to publish their work in The Vault, and to take part in our Writing Projects and Anthologies. On our warm and friendly Community you can meet new people, leave feedback for authors, take part in discussions on a range of issues and have a real voice in the way this site is run.

They may take the form of a Round Robin, where multiple authors take turns writing a chapter, a partnership between two or more authors, where those authors work together to produce a novel, or a collective, where multiple authors write individual standalone stories all set within the same story Universe. Site owned and managed by Rob Hawes.

Writing Projects are exercises or challenges designed to help new and veteran authors develop their skills or expand their knowledge of a form of fiction or poetry writing. And this form for poetry. Open to all authors and members, interested participants are invited to write a story from the perspective of an animal and contribute their work to our collection of animal tales.
