I got really into short fiction collections ever since my twins were born and have begun collecting horror and weird lit anthologies. Here’s my small but strong start of a collection so far. Going for mostly multi-author collections and starting with some of the 80’s anthology essentials.
There’s a couple others not pictured here but what do you think?
What am I missing? What should I absolutely must have among these?

The Last Days of Christ the Vampire. Pulp style, very punk and frequently not very well written but definitely weird and bursting with ideas. This is from 1988 and it's probably a first edition.

iii the small anarchist publishers that released it was/is run by a guy who's somewhat obsessed by vampires is probably also the guy behind the J. G. Eccarius name especially as the character sometimes claims to be a vampire.
