M. John Harrison’s story collections span more than four decades, beginning with The Machine in Shaft Ten and Other Stories in 1975. Each collection reflects the period in which it was assembled, moving from the New Wave-influenced early work to the more ambiguous, literary stories of his later career.
You Should Come With Me Now (2017) and Settling the World (2020) collect his more recent short fiction, much of which first appeared in literary journals rather than genre magazines.
