H. Beam Piper’s story collections bring together work that was originally published in magazines like Astounding Science Fiction during the 1950s and early 1960s. Because Piper died in 1964 without much commercial success, much of his short fiction went out of print quickly. These collections, assembled over the following decades, preserved stories that might otherwise have been lost.
The collections range from focused compilations tied to specific series, like The Complete Paratime, to broader gatherings of his scattered magazine work. John F. Carr, Piper’s literary executor, was responsible for editing and publishing several of these volumes, ensuring that Piper’s shorter works remained accessible alongside his better-known novels.
