I've had a trade paperback of City for at least a couple of years, but had not read it yet. They previously had also hosted official web pages for many writers, but that was suspended several years ago, and the last reader's poll was in 2013. SF Site is similar to Locus, featuring genre news, reviews, and critical essays. The original was a finalist for a Locus Award for Best Collection in 2002, and the revised edition nabbed nominations for the World Fantasy Award, and SF Site's Reader's Poll for '03. There was also a UK edition, but I'm not sure how that compared to any of the others. As far as I know that is the only place that story ever appeared. The second edition included an untitled story printed on the dustcover jacket, which incorporated VanderMeer's name and the collection's title in the text toward the bottom of the front cover. The first of them, City of Saints and Madmen, is a collection of stories, mostly novellas I believe, originally released in 2001, with a revised and expanded version the following year, then another in '04. It is an omnibus volume containing three previously published books, at least the first of which has had several editions. Jeff VanderMeer's Ambergris will be published December 1.
