Brian Lumley’s anthology appearances span nearly five decades, from Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos, Vol. 1 in 1969 through to Masters of Horror in 2017. The 54 entries cover a wide range of horror sub-genres: Lovecraftian mythos collections like Disciples of Cthulhu and Weirder Shadows Over Innsmouth sit alongside vampire-themed volumes such as The Mammoth Book of Vampires and The Mammoth Book of Dracula, and zombie collections including The Mammoth Book of Zombies.
The list also includes several years’ worth of Best New Horror installments, entries in the long-running Dark Terrors and Dark Voices series, and one-off collections like Gaslight & Ghosts, Stranger by Night, and Dark Places, Evil Faces. Taken together, they document Lumley’s presence across the horror anthology landscape from the 1960s through the 2010s. Each entry is independent, so readers can dip in wherever the title catches their attention.
