Philip Jose Farmer’s short stories and novellas were a vital part of his output. The ten entries in this collection range from the 1950s to posthumous publications, covering science fiction, fantasy, and horror. Farmer was comfortable at every length, and some of his most important work appeared first as novellas or novelettes.
The shorter works cover his full range of interests, from pulp adventure to philosophical speculation. Titles like Rastignac the Devil and Queen of the Deep show Farmer working in compressed form, delivering the same mix of big ideas and vivid action that characterizes his novels.
