Charles Waugh je známy predovšetkým ako editor žánrových antológií, často v spolupráci s Isaacom Asimovom a Martinom H. Greenbergom. Jeho rozsiahla publikačná činnosť zahŕňa dvestovku titulov, pričom sa sústreďuje predovšetkým na oblasti sci-fi, fantasy a hororu. V jeho diele sa často objavujú zbierky poviedok, ktoré predstavujú rozmanitých autorov a štýly v rámci týchto populárnych žánrov. Waugh prispieva k žánrovej literatúre svojím kurátorským prístupom k výberu a prezentácii diel.

These fantastic tales are as fresh and relevant today as they were when they first appeared in the 1940s, the Golden Age of Science Fiction. Theodore Sturgeon’s “Killdozer!” details the liberation of a mutant energy force with intelligence and a will to destroy. “With Folded Hands,” by Jack Williamson, unfolds a terrifying vision of the future where humanoid mechanisms secure “happiness” for all human beings. In a corrupt empire to come, “The Weapons Shop” of A.E. van Vogt’s world may be the only source for legal and moral justice. Plus, there’s an early “Foundation” tale by Issac Asimov, and many other brilliant examples by C.L. Moore, Lester del Rey, and more.
