Rayne Hall has edited a prolific run of themed anthologies, most following the “Ten Tales of…” format that collects ten stories from different authors around a shared subject. The series launched in 2011 with titles focusing on ghosts, zombies, witchcraft, vampires, and pirates, and expanded over the following years into steampunk, demons, dragons, and more.

Many of these anthologies are set in or draw from the landscape of Sussex, England, where Hall has lived and which provides a rich backdrop for ghost stories and coastal tales. The collections Shivers, Driftwood, and Chills all draw on this regional connection. Later anthologies like Among the Headstones (2022) and The Haunted Train (2023) take gothic horror to graveyards and railways respectively. Hall typically includes her own contribution alongside the work of other selected authors.
