Jonathan Maberry’s short story collections gather his shorter horror and dark fantasy fiction into five volumes published between 2011 and 2023. The earliest, Possessed: Spine Tingling Tales from Ten Masters of Horror (2011), is a multi-author collection. Hungry Tales (2012) collects zombie-related fiction, while Strange Worlds (2015) ranges across science fiction and fantasy settings.
Empty Graves: Tales of the Living Dead (2021) and Long Past Midnight (2023) represent Maberry’s more recent collection work. These books give readers a chance to sample the full range of Maberry’s shorter fiction, from stories set in his established series universes to standalone tales of horror and the supernatural. For readers who prefer shorter fiction or who want to explore Maberry’s work beyond his novels, these collections are a good starting point.
