These two anthologies represent E.E. Knight’s work in short fiction and his participation in genre collections during the mid-2000s. DeathGrip: It Came From the Cinema appeared in 2004 and collects horror stories with a film-industry angle. Return of the Sword, published in 2008, is a sword-and-sorcery anthology that fits the same heroic fantasy tradition Knight was working in with his Age of Fire novels during that period.

Both are multi-author anthologies rather than solo collections, so they give readers a snapshot of the genre community Knight was part of at different points in his career. For fans of short fantasy and horror fiction from the 2000s, they offer a way to sample Knight’s shorter work alongside other contributors.
