Gabino Iglesias started his publishing career with short-form work before moving into novels. Gutmouth (2012) was his debut, a bizarro fiction novella published through Eraserhead Press that mixed body horror with dark absurdist humor. It marked his entry into the genre fiction world and showed early signs of the visceral, boundary-pushing style he would later refine.

Beyond the Reef (2020) came years later, after Iglesias had established himself as a novelist and critic. His short fiction appears in numerous anthologies as well, but these two standalone publications represent his named short-form releases.
