Jonathan Carroll’s work has appeared in seventeen anthologies spanning nearly twenty-five years, from 1988 through 2012. These appearances reflect his standing in the fantasy and horror communities, with his stories regularly selected for year’s-best compilations alongside the top writers in the field.
The anthologies range from broadly themed collections like Walls of Fear and A Whisper of Blood to annual best-of volumes that survey the finest short fiction of their respective years. Carroll’s inclusion in so many of these speaks to the consistent quality and originality of his shorter work.
