John Crowley is one of the most respected writers of literary fantasy, known for novels like Little, Big and the four-volume Aegypt cycle. His six short fiction collections, published between 1989 and 2019, gather stories and essays that span his career.
The collections include Novelties and Souvenirs, Novelty, Antiquities, In Other Words, Totalitopia, and And Go Like This. Crowley’s short fiction shares the careful, allusive prose of his novels, moving between fantasy, science fiction, and literary fiction without settling comfortably into any single genre. These collections are a good entry point for readers curious about Crowley’s work, as well as a valuable resource for longtime fans.
