From the Publisher
This is a collection of extraordinary short fantasy.I am the in-house editor at Tor, and I love this book. I am honored and delighted to be able to help bring some of Avram Davidson's short stories back into print.
Davidson was one of the great American writers of our time, a writer's writer; but his best work was in short stories, fantasy for the most part, and most of it was published in the genre pulp magazines. That's no way to become rich and famous. But his stories are wonderful just the same -- far too wonderful to let vanish into obscurity.
Pick up the collection next time you're in a bookstore and take a look at the introductions. You'll find writers like Peter S. Beagle, Ursula Le Guin, Harlan Ellison, Ray Bradbury, and William Gibson, all enthusing and testifying about what a great writer Avram Davidson was.
Better yet, just read the stories. There's nothing anyone can say about Avram Davidson that's better than reading his stories. Promise.
