Charles L. Grant’s anthology work is staggering in scope. The 95 entries in this collection span four decades, from Orbit 11 in 1972 to Bad Seeds: Evil Progeny in 2013. Many of these are anthologies Grant edited himself, including the Shadows series that ran to ten volumes.
Grant was considered one of the best anthology editors in horror fiction. His editorial taste helped shape the genre through the 1980s and 1990s, and his anthologies served as launching pads for many horror writers. The collection also includes anthologies where Grant appeared as a contributing author alongside peers like Stephen King and Peter Straub.
