Collected Stories of David A. Riley

Through Parallel Universe Publications I am thinking of publishing the first in several proposed volumes of my collected horror, SF and fantasy stories.

These stories would be included in the chronological order in which they were first published and have brief details of their publication history since then. 

For instance some stories have been reprinted quite a few times, especially "After Nightfall":

1970 Weird Window 1, Shadow Publishing edited by David A. Sutton

1971 The Year's Best Horror Fiction 1, Sphere Books & DAW Books edited by Richard Davis

1985 Fantasy Tales #15 edited by Stephen Jones & David A. Sutton

1992 Tayaschiysya Horror 2, (Таящийся ужас 2) published in Russia, translated by Vladimir Vladimirov

2011 Zombies! Zombies! Zombies! edited by Otto Penzler, Vintage Books

2012 Zombies: A Compendium of the Living Dead edited by Otto Penzler, Corvus/Atlantic Books

2013 The Lurkers in the Abyss & Other Tales of Terror, Shadow Publishing

2017 Gallery of Curiosities edited by Kevin Frost

2018 Gallery of Curiosities webzine edited by Kevin Frost

2020 After Nightfall & Other Weird Tales, Parallel Universe Publications

2022 Phantasmagoria Fantasy Tales Special edited by Trevor Kennedy 

 

The books would be published in hardcover, paperback and as kindle eBooks. 

Volume 1 would be subtitled "The Early Years 1970 - " to whichever date the last story to be included was first published. At the same time my earlier collections of stories published by PUP will be retired. I am already in discussions with David A. Sutton, who publishes The Lurkers in the Abyss & Other Tales of Terror about that book becoming out of print soon.
