1 y separately published work icon Exotic Gothic Danel P. Olson , 2006 Ashcroft : Ash Tree Press , 2007-2009 Z1916884 2006 series - author short story horror thriller Conceived and edited by American academic and gothic author Danel Olson, Exotic Gothic is an anthology series of gothic, horror, thriller, and fantasy stories, novellas, and novel excerpts written by emerging and estabished writers from around the world.

In talking about the fourth book in the series Olsen writes:
In 2006, I floated a concept I created called Exotic Gothic to over seventy publishers around the world. It was an experiment in growing neo-Gothic stories: to keep one or more traditional tropes of the old genre in each new story, but add much that's culturally different, and set them all outside of their original birthlands of the UK, Germany, and France. Since then the series has had four volumes, the first three from Ash-Tree Press of Canada (which with regret was unable to produce the fourth due to unforeseen personal commitments and time constraints), and the current from England's PS Publishing (whose name to carry the series was suggested by many of the writers within this all-new collection). Exotic Gothic 2 was a Shirley Jackson Award Finalist, and Exotic Gothic 3 a Shirley Jackson and World Fantasy Award Finalist. Many of the series' harrowing and sensual tales now reappear the following year in Best Of and themed collections (PS Publishing website).
