C.S. Forester’s work has been anthologized across five collections published between 1957 and 2002. The range of anthologies — from Stories for the Dead of Night and 65 Great Tales Of Horror to Mysterious Sea Stories and High Seas — reflects the breadth of Forester’s fiction, which touched on suspense, maritime adventure, and wartime drama.
Fifty Best Mysteries (1993) includes Forester’s crime fiction, a reminder that Payment Deferred and other early works established him in the mystery genre before Hornblower came along.
