Rayne Hall’s story collections gather her short fiction into themed volumes, each with a different focus. These are author-curated selections rather than themed anthologies with multiple contributors, giving them a more personal feel.
Thirty Scary Tales (2013) collects horror stories that range from quiet, creeping dread to more overtly supernatural encounters. Sussex Horrors (2018) draws on the landscape and folklore of southern England, a region Hall knows well. Queen of Ithaka (2024) takes a different direction entirely, retelling stories from Greek mythology with a focus on the women who are often sidelined in classical accounts.
