The Gothic Fantasy collections are a massive anthology series that includes Washington Irving’s work alongside contributions from dozens of other authors across horror, fantasy, and science fiction. With over ninety volumes, these books cover everything from Lovecraft and Poe to Norse myths and Afrofuturism.
Irving’s inclusion stems from his status as a pioneer of American Gothic fiction. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and The Devil and Tom Walker sit comfortably next to stories by later masters of the form. The anthology series has been published steadily since the 1990s, with new themed volumes appearing each year covering ghost stories, science fiction, crime fiction, and world mythology.
