These can be tales of speculative fiction, science fiction, fantasy, weird, or even horror – as long as there is a glimmer of hope at the end of it all (what we call ‘Goldendark’).

Goldendark is looking for astounding short fiction for the forthcoming anthology of thrutopian fiction. So, not bland utopias or predictable dystopias, but stories that offer a ‘way through’ the multiple challenges we face (what has been called the ‘Age of Polycrisis’).
