Paul Finch has published seventeen short story collections since The Shadows Beneath in 2000. These volumes gather his horror short fiction into themed groupings, from the medieval-set Medi Evil trilogy to the seasonal horrors of In a Deep, Dark December and The Christmas You Deserve. The collections document over two decades of short fiction output.
Several collections focus on specific settings or time periods. The Medi Evil books collect historical horror stories, while Enemies at the Door and The Extremist and Other Tales of Conflict explore darker themes of violence and confrontation. Other volumes like Walkers in the Dark and One Monster Is Not Enough take a broader approach, collecting the best of his recent short fiction. Together, these collections form a substantial body of horror writing that sits alongside his novel-length work.
