Richard Kadrey’s anthology appearances span nearly four decades, from The Orbit Science Fiction Yearbook 1 in 1988 to Appalachian Strong in 2025. The fifteen entries cover science fiction, fantasy, horror, and mixed-genre collections, reflecting the range of his short fiction career. Early anthologies like Semiotext SF and Storming the Reality Studio place him in the cyberpunk literary movement.
His more recent anthology appearances lean toward horror and dark fantasy, with contributions to collections like Screams from the Dark, Christmas and Other Horrors, and Body Shocks. These later credits align with the supernatural fiction he has become best known for through the Sandman Slim series.
