Bruce Coville’s short fiction and novellas were published in two main bursts. Seven titles came out in 2011 — including My Little Brother is a Monster, I, Earthling, and The Giant’s Tooth — followed by three more in 2012 before a longer gap to The Thing in Auntie Alma’s Pond (2018) and The Japanese Mirror (2019).
The titles lean toward fantasy and the fantastical, with names suggesting monsters, mythological figures, and strange encounters throughout. Each piece stands alone, so readers can start anywhere in the list rather than working through them in publication order.
