Anthony Burgess’s short fiction has been anthologized in collections spanning several genres. The Year’s Best Science Fiction No. 3 (1970) includes his science fiction work, while 65 Great Tales Of Horror (1981) features his contribution to the horror genre. The Book of Spies: An Anthology of Literary Espionage (2003) collects his work alongside other literary authors who wrote spy fiction.
These anthology appearances show how Burgess moved between genres that many authors keep separate. His reputation as a literary novelist did not prevent him from writing effective genre fiction, and these collections preserve some of his shorter work in formats that reach readers outside his usual audience.
