Barry N. Malberg was an acerbic, prolific author of novels and short stories from the late 1960s to the mid-1980s, and was an occasional, eccentric anthologist. All but one compiled with collaborators, his anthologies focused on unusual themes: authors in collaboration in
Shared Tomorrows, authors he felt were under-appreciated in
Neglected Visions and
Uncollected Stars. Crime, sports, and bug-eyed monsters. Compiled elsewhere, his
The End of Summer is on the Decade Bests page, while his
Arbor House Treasury of Horror and the Supernatural is on the Horror anthologies page. His most recent and only solo anthology compiles best time travel stories of all time, with stories by Bradbury, Knight, Harness, and later stories by Tiptree, Dick, Landis, and Silverberg.
Most reprinted authors: Barry N. Malzberg (5), Poul Anderson, Fredric Brown, and Bill Pronzini (4 each), Damon Knight and Robert Silverberg (3 each).
