They would comprise four volumes:
1970-2000 - which would be 342 pages
2001-2010 - which would be 344 pages
2011-2020 - which would be 298 pages
2021-2025 - which would be 253 pages
These would be all my horror and science fiction stories, but would not include my swords and sorcery/dark fantasy tales. It ends at 2025 because I have stopped writing horror and am concentrating solely on swords and sorcery and dark fantasy.
The chronological order in which these stories are printed is based upon their date of first publication, not on when they were originally written. At the moment I intend to write brief introductions to each story with any pertinent details, anecdotes, etc., plus a full publishing history. Existing collections of these stories, such as The Lurkers in the Abyss & Other Tales of Terror and His Own Mad Demons will be made out of print shortly before these are brought out.
At some time in the future I am aiming to see publication, hopefully by other publishers, of my swords and sorcery stories, along the lines of Tule Fog Press's Welgar the Cursed. Titles I have in mind are Horbeck: Tales of a Mercenary Barbarian and Tales of the Azure Sea, though these are just tentative at the moment. I have 35 swords and sorcery/dark fantasy stories written at the moment, totalling 252,000 words, plus a 70,000 word novel called The Sorcerer's War which is currently "doing the rounds".
My next big task? Selecting stories for Volume 11 of Swords & Sorceries Tales of Heroic Fantasy in October, then the same for a new anthology series in February, Swords & Rockets: Tales of Futures Past.
