The Complete Short Fiction of John Wyndham

I have seen mention of 73 Wyndham stories. Of the stories, 65 can be found in the following nine collections, another three are online, a novelization of one is readily available, and four are in only original magazines or anthologies. Those four may be available in an e-anthology edited by Broschell, but that volume does not authorization from the Wyndham estate. —Michael (main@colorado.edu)

Notes:

The Internet SF Database also lists a Wyndham chapbook, Love in Time, but the Encyclopedia of Science Fiction says that this is just a reprinting of “Wanderers of Time” (confirmed to me by Neil Pollard), so I haven’t added it to the list.

John Hinchliffe lists another item, “Melia Ann: A Fantasy of the W.I.,” which is poetry from a small print run in 1953. “No Place Like Earth,” was published with that title in the Spring 1951 U.K. magazine New Worlds (#9) and is a sequel to “Time to Rest.’ It was simultaneously published in the Spring 1951 U.S. magazine 10 Story Fantasy (#1, the only issue) with the title “Tyrant and Slave-Girl on Planet Venus.” See the table of contents at the title page).
