Story collections

Listed below, by sequence of publication, are the six different books which feature Kirk's own stories exclusively, with contents and some notes. (Not listed here are the multi-author anthologies in which many of his stories first appeared or were reprinted.)

Author-overseen collections

These three collections were published with Kirk's active involvement and include all his stories. (Six of the stories here appear in two of the books.)

Posthumous collections

These last three collections were prepared, by their respective editors and publishers, years after Kirk's death. The first two are uniform editions which, taken together, systematically collect all Kirk's stories. The third book gathers all but three of his stories in a single volume.
