100 Stories / Barnes & Noble
Martin H. Greenberg, Robert Weinberg, Stefan Dziemianowicz, Al Sarrantonio, Isaac Asimov & Joseph D. Olander · 17 anthologies · 1981–2000
The 100 Stories series gathers themed anthologies of exactly 100 very short pieces apiece, edited by a rotating team led by Martin H. Greenberg, Robert Weinberg, and Stefan Dziemianowicz (with Isaac Asimov among the named editors on several volumes), each built around a single genre hook: mysteries, ghost stories, horror, crime, vampires, aliens. Published by Barnes & Noble between the 1980s and 2000s, the books function as genre-survey anthologies rather than a continuing story, with the contributing authors varying from volume to volume.
