Synopsis

<p>Though often packed into the genre of science fiction, <a href="https://standardebooks.org/ebooks/r-a-lafferty">R. A. Lafferty</a> might fit better into a category of the bizzare. Through a blend of folk storytelling, American tall tales, science fiction, and fantasy, all infused with his devout Catholicism, he has created an inimitable, genre-bending, sui generis style.</p> <p>Lafferty has received many Hugo and Nebula Award nominations and won the Best Short Story Hugo in 1973.</p> <p>Collected here are all of his public domain short stories, all of which were originally published in science fiction pulp magazines in the 1960s.</p>
