Lawrence Watt-Evans has published six short story collections over a 25-year span. These gather together stories originally published in magazines, anthologies, and online venues, covering the full range of his interests from science fiction to fantasy to horror.
Crosstime Traffic (1992) collects his science fiction stories, while Celestial Debris (2002) mixes genres more freely. The Final Folly of Captain Dancy and In the Blood, both from 2011, focus on different corners of his shorter work. Hazmat & Other Toxic Stories (2016) leans toward darker material, and The Lawrence Watt-Evans Fantasy Megapack (2017) is a large sampler of his fantasy short fiction.
These collections show how versatile Watt-Evans is as a short story writer. While he is best known for his novel-length fantasy, his shorter work covers territory his novels do not always reach, including horror, humor, and contemporary settings.
