All about Strange Monsters of the Recent Past: Neat Stories by Howard Waldrop
Requirements: .PDF reader, 6 mb
Overview: There are two types of science fiction writers: type “A” is Howard Waldrop. Type “B” is everybody else.
Collected for the first time in this edition are seven remarkable stories by one of America’s most original authors; stories that are both refreshing and startling, both funny and moving; stories that could have been written by no one other than Howard Waldrop.
In the speculative world Waldrop describes, (lying saucers and a singing competition cause the great blackout of New York in 1965 ( “Flying Saucer Rock and Roll”), Hemingway pulls his life together for one last hunt (“Fair Game”), robots suffer from the Black Plague (“Helpless, Helpless”), a Nigerian boy writes historical plays in an Africa freed of white domination in the 1600s (“The Lions Are Asleep This Night”), time travelers find themselves in a world of paint and canvas (“What Makes Heironymous Run?”), an ancient Egyptian dynasty prepares for 20th century rule (the previously unpublished “He-We-Await”), and B-movie monsters over-run the earth in 1978 (“All About Strange Monsters of the Recent Past”).
With an introduction by Gardner Dozois and an afterword by Lewis Shiner, this volume is sure to please a growing readership who not only can answer the question Howard Who?, but who have eagerly clamored for a new collection by this master of the short story.
