The Supernatural Index: A Listing of Fantasy, Supernatural, Occult, Weird, and Horror Anthologies

Supernatural fiction continues to be of interest to modern readers, though many of the most frequently anthologised ghost stories were written during the Victorian era. Because so much supernatural fiction has been published as short stories, antholgies have long been a useful means of bringing supernatural literature to the readers. This reference is an index to all known anthologies of supernatural, fantasy and weird fiction. Included are entries for more than 2100 anthologies from 1813 to the present. Many of these anthologies have never been listed previously in bibliographies, and this volume includes citations for rare Victorian works. Entries provide original publication sources for reprinted stories, including many from obscure magazines not previously indexed. The book also provides birth and death dates and pseudonyms for more than 7700 authors of supernatural fiction. Citations may be accessed by editor, author, book title, or story title. Also included is a listing of the contents of each anthology.
