Carl Hiaasen has contributed to three anthologies. Naked Came the Manatee (1997) is a collaborative novel by South Florida writers, each contributing a chapter to a comic mystery. Writers on Writing (2001) is a collection of essays about the craft, while The Best American Mystery Stories 2007 is the annual anthology series.
