British anthologist Stephen Jones launched his annual horror anthology series in 1990 for Robinson in the UK and Carroll & Graf in the US. The first five volumes were co-edited by Ramsey Campbell, and with the seventh volume the titles changed from Best New Horror to The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror. Short introductions in the early volumes grew into comprensive overviews of some 100 pages in later volumes; similarly the Necrology at the end of each book grew to be nearly as long.

Titles are shown here somewhat normalized; individual volumes sometimes used number words, others used digits; some included the world "Volume," others didn't; some used a colon before the word "Volume," others didn't. There were variations even between the same volume's UK and US editions. Further, though the anthologies were British in origin, the US editions were often published simultaneously, and occassionally appeared before the UK edition.

Volumes past the 25th are appearing irregularly from PS Publishing in the UK, under its Drugstore Indian Press imprint.

Most often reprinted authors: Ramsey Campbell (23); Kim Newman and Michael Marshall Smith (17 each); Steve Rasnic Tem (16); Christopher Fowler and Nicholas Royle (14 each); Joel Lane (12); Neil Gaiman (11).
