Poor Superman and Others

(2009)
A collection of stories by

 
 
Veritable Classics and Forgotten Gems!
A fantastic collection containing some of the most thought-provoking stories by science fiction and fantasy great, Fritz Leiber.
From the strange shared universe of Poor Superman and Coming Attraction to forgotten gems like the Chthulu Mythos story, The Dreams of Albert Moreland. Diverse stories like No Great Magic (A story of the Change War) to the fan favorite, A Pail of Air.
Tales from the darkly disturbing - A Bit of the Dark World - to the hilarious and bizarrely erotic - The Night He Cried.
Over 100,000 words that promise to entertain as well as a gateway into the unique, genius mind of a Science Fiction Grand Master.
Includes the first book publication of A Bit of the Dark World and the post-apocalyptic short novel, The Night of the Long Knives.

The sheer variety of fine work (often subversive of cliches and received ideas) which he produced over such a lengthy career is remarkable. At his best, his stylistic confidence unifies quirky notions, mannered passages sometimes verging on prose poetry, unexpected imagery and a frothy sense of fun, into stories that glitter and sing. - The Encyclopedia of Fantasy
