Karloff was credited for editing several horror anthologies, commencing with "Tales of Terror" (Cleveland and NY: World Publishing Co, 1943) (compiled with the help of Edmond Speare). This wartime-published anthology went through at least five printings to September 1945. It has been reprinted recently (Orange NJ: Idea Men, 2007). Karloff's name was also attached to "And the Darkness Falls" (Cleveland and NY: World Publishing Co, 1946); and "The Boris Karloff Horror Anthology" (London: Souvenir Press, 1965; simultaneous publication in Canada - Toronto: The Ryerson Press; US pbk reprint NY: Avon Books, 1965 retitled as "Boris Karloff's Favourite Horror Stories"; UK pbk reprints London: Corgi, 1969 and London: Everest, 1975, both under the original title), though it is less clear whether Karloff himself actually edited these.
