Seanan McGuire’s four short story collections bring together fiction from across her career. When Will You Rise (2012), published under the Mira Grant name, collects her horror and science fiction short work. Laughter at the Academy (2019) and Dying with Her Cheer Pants On (2020) cover a broader range, and The Proper Thing and Other Stories (2024) is her most recent collection.
These volumes serve as entry points to McGuire’s shorter fiction and provide a comprehensive look at her range beyond the novel-length series for which she is best known.
