Dan Abnett has contributed short fiction to dozens of anthologies over his career, working across licensed and original fiction. This collection groups together the ten anthologies in which he has a meaningful presence, covering work from his early 2000s Warhammer tie-ins through to 2021. The range of topics reflects his breadth as a writer: military science fiction, supernatural horror, superhero fiction, and cosmic fantasy all appear across these titles.
Sabbat Worlds stands out as the most focused entry, a shared-world anthology set within the Gaunt’s Ghosts universe that Abnett edited and contributed to. The Hammer and the Eagle collects landmark Warhammer fiction, while Encounters with the Unknown gathers earlier short work. Readers already familiar with his longer series will find these anthologies offer useful context and shorter, self-contained stories that sit alongside his novels.
