“The Year’s Best Dark Fantasy & Horror is an annual anthology series that has featured Brian Hodge’s short fiction across 15 volumes from 2010 to 2024. The series began with annual editions labeled by year (2010-2019) before switching to numbered volumes starting with Volume 1 in 2020.”
“Hodge’s consistent presence across 15 consecutive or near-consecutive volumes speaks to his standing in the dark fiction community. The series shifted from single-year editions to the current volume numbering system around 2020.”
