Short Fiction

by Lawrence Watt-Evans

This is a list of all my known published short fiction, sorted alphabetically by title. (I have not counted articles; stories starting with "A," "An," or "The" will be alphabetized by the second word.) I have not always been careful about record-keeping, so it may not be 100% complete. If you know of any stories I've missed, please e-mail me.

Each title below links to a page where I briefly describe where the story came from, how it came to be written, and where it was published. I've tried to provide some bibliographic data for each story here on this page, but I don't guarantee its completeness or accuracy -- not only have I not listed every story included in the Wildside Press "Megapacks", I've caught one instance where I had listed the wrong issue of a magazine, and there may be others. Again, if you find any errors, please e-mail me.

For a very few stories, especially the most recent ones and those written under names other than Lawrence Watt-Evans, the individual pages may not be done yet, and if you follow the link you may only find a placeholder. I'll be replacing these with the real thing when I find the time.

Some, but by no means all, of my stories are available in single-author collections; the images at the right link to pages about those. They're all in print. I've also issued some stories as mini-ebooks, at 99 cents apiece; those are also listed to the right, below the collections.

If you're looking for a particular genre, then check out my color-coded list.
