horror anthology

Frightening story compilation

A horror anthology is a collection of horror stories, typically by multiple authors, gathered in a single volume or presented as a series of self-contained episodes in film or television.

The format allows variety in style and subject matter while maintaining a unifying theme of fear: Creepshow and Tales from the Crypt are classic horror anthology series.

Print horror anthologies often showcase both established and emerging writers in the genre.
