Rick R. Reed’s anthology contributions span the full length of his career, from Dante’s Disciples in 1991 to Love is Love in 2016. These appearances place his work alongside other writers in horror, romance, and LGBT fiction collections. Unspeakable Horror: From the Shadows of the Closet is particularly notable as one of the few anthologies focused specifically on queer horror.
The anthology list reflects Reed’s dual identity as both a horror writer and a romance author. Collections like The Darkest Thirst and Whispered from the Grave showcase his horror work, while I Do, Two and Burning First Kiss represent his romantic side. The Pot Thickens is an outlier, a recipe collection from writers that shows yet another facet of his personality.
