These two anthologies feature Daisy Johnson’s short fiction alongside work by other writers. Best British Short Stories 2017 is an annual collection that gathers standout short stories from British authors, and Johnson’s inclusion came shortly after the success of her debut collection Fen.
Hag: Forgotten Folktales Retold (2019) is a more focused project, bringing together contemporary women writers to reimagine old British and Irish folk stories that had been largely overlooked. Johnson’s contribution fits naturally with her wider body of work, which has always drawn on folklore and the uncanny. Both anthologies give readers a chance to see her short fiction in conversation with other voices in contemporary British writing.
