Beagle’s collections span nearly three decades, from The Rhinoceros Who Quoted Nietzsche (1997) through The Essential Peter S. Beagle volumes in 2023. Each gathers stories that appeared in magazines, anthologies, and limited editions, making them the easiest way to find his shorter work in one place.
The Overneath (2017) brought together more recent stories and novellas, many of which had appeared in small press editions. The two Essential volumes published in 2023 act as a career retrospective, collecting his most notable pieces from across the decades. For readers who already love The Last Unicorn, these collections show how much more Beagle has done.
