Across 22 collections, the work covers the full range of horror short fiction, with titles ranging from Ghoul Warning And Other Omens (1982) and Dagon’s Bell and Other Discords (1988) to Fruiting Bodies and Other Fungi (1993) and A Coven of Vampires (1998).
The collections published from the early 2000s onward include Beneath the Moors and Darker Places (2002), The Whisperer and Other Voices (2001), and The Taint and Other Novellas (2007), with the series continuing well into the 2010s and 2020s.
