This new anthology coming in June 2025 will carry my first publication, "Cats Just Don't Care." I'm excited for everyone to read it!
"A beautiful anthology in ode to the black cat! Each story was unique with the black cat central. Was very nice. I also have a black tomcat, so twice as nice!" - Goodreads Reader
"Spellbinding anthology of black cats who travel space and time, keep ghosts and monsters in check, and cure diseases. The sprinkling of poetry throughout is chef’s kiss." - Goodreads Reader
"If there's anything that even comes close to capturing just how mysterious and multifaceted these regal creatures are, it's this collection. The stories here are full of justification for centuries of fear and superstition, as well as a few chuckles and the kind of comfort you only experience with a purring cat kneading the blankets on your lap." -Tasha Reynolds, co-founder of The Sinister Scoop
"Francesca and Mark have assembled a spellbinding anthology of black cats, including scary felines, miraculous kittens, and cats who traverse space and time. A purrfect book to spend an afternoon with!" —S.D. and Heather Vassallo, founders of Brigids Gate Press, LLC.
"Put an anthology of black cat tales in front of a horror fan, and it’s like setting out a bowl of milk for your favorite feline. I couldn’t stop lapping it up! Black Cat Tales features all manner of cats—solo cats, litters of cats, communities of cats; older cats and many, many kittens. You’ll find rescue cats; robotic cats; familiars; ghost cats, and a host of other variations. Editors Francesca Maria and Mark S. Causey offer you a carefully curated selection of 39 stories and poems, by both well-known authors and those never before published. Highly recommended!” - Dianna Sinovic, author of Scream of the Silent Sun
"This is possibly one of the best anthologies I've ever read! If you love cats, (especially black ones!), then you should give this a read when it releases on June 13, 2025. These stories range from horror & dark fantasy to mystery & even poetry, with an amazing variety of tropes & perspectives - there truly is something for everyone in this anthology! My favorites are "The Vermin" & "Cross My Heart & Hope to Rise". - Jen_Reads_Horror
