No, sorry there isn't actually a book named
The Mammoth Book of Karl Edward Wagner, though there should be!
Recently, I started poking around my handful of Mammoth
anthologies. I have mostly horror tomes edited by Stephen Jones.
I love those things, though I tended to
grab them for a single story. Going back over the tables-of-content,
I am noticing authors who I am now aware of that I wasn't aware of
when I bought the books - Manly Wade Wellman, David J. Schow, Hugh B. Cave, et al. (Which is why I should find more reading
time.)
Some of these Mammoth anthologies have even found their way
to ebook versions.
Sooo... - long story long, I thought I'd
put together a list of Mammoth appearances of Karl Edward Wagner.
For those who are interested in reading him but find acquiring the Wagner collections and novels difficult, maybe these can help. Some of the ebooks are
pricey but there are lots of good stories alongside Wagner's tales. If not available as ebook, some can be found cheaply enough
used.
The Mammoth Book of Frankenstein
(
Kindle)
“Undertow” (A Kane tale)
(a reprint of
The Mammoth Book of
Werewolves (
out-of-print))
“One Paris Night” (A Becker tale)
The Mammoth Book of Vampires (
Kindle - yes, you can preview it, just click where the cover image would be)
“Beyond Any Measure”
“.220 Swift”
“Sticks”
The Mammoth Book of Terror (
out-of-print)
"The River of Night's Dreaming"
The Mammoth Book of New Terror (
Kindle)
"The Fourth Seal"
Best New Horror 2 (
Kindle) (technically, not
Mammoth but edited by Jones and came up in my search)
"Cedar Lane"
In fact, there are also a large number of
Best New Horror Stories. Wagner's name is on many of the covers, but I can't see the contents of the out-of-print ones. E.g.;
number 4. (update; available for Kindle;
number 3 and
number 5)
Oh, of course, I just found this. I knew about it, but forget about it, too. Well, it doesn't have the Centipede collections or the ebooks or later Mammoth books, so my efforts aren't completely in vain.

Also, according to that list, he had two stories in
The Mammoth Book of Ghost Stories. (

Happy hunting!
