  • Notes:
    • An abbreviated version of the "Selected Stories" collection from 1943, this collection contains only 9 of the original 23 stories. Title page has only "Selected Stories" according to this page at The Spectre Library, so the cover title "The Battle of the Singing Men and Selected Stories" here disambiguates it from "Selected Stories". Because of the brevity of the Contents it is widely recognised as a separate collection.
    • Original publications are noted after each title.
    • Note from The Spectre Library page that Harlan Ellison's attribution of the publisher "Everybody's Books" appears to be incorrect.
    • Cover artist unknown.
