Mike Resnick has won so many awards here and abroad for his serious work that people tend to forget he's just about our funniest writer as well. The purpose of this book is to help you remember.

You'll find tales of John Justin Mallory, the detective from an alternate New York. You'll meet a Jewish Tonto and find out what "Kemosabee" really means. You'll learn why America was put up for auction and who bought it. You'll discover what a future tabloid might read like, and why one of our presidents got work in a schlock Shakespeare movie. You'll be introduced to a writer who misplaced his soul, and a devil who wants to sue for peace. You'll find out why Myron Blumberg's wife hates dragons, and why the Sugar Plum Faeries hate Walt Disney. You'll even learn why Martians are attracted to big-breasted women.
