Box 390, Station A Weston, ON Canada M9N 3N1 THE LAFFERTY BOOKLET SERIES The Lafferty booklet series pulled together rare and previously unpublished or uncollected short stories, poetry, and essays. Many of the booklets were nominated for small press awards and recommended by such luminaaries as David Hartwell, Michael Swanwick, and Gardner Dozois in "Years Best" lists. CHAPBOOKS --------- THE EARLY LAFFERTY (CHAPBOOK) Just what is says. The very first stories, not all of which are science fiction, but all of which are unmistakably Lafferty. These came from places as widely divergent as the New Mexico Quarterly Review and certain obscure "Men's" magazines from 1959-61. Six Stories, 28 pages. $3.50, Signed $6.50. THE EARLY LAFFERTY II (CHAPBOOK) More of the same. THe first collection was so popular that it encouraged the offering of a second volume. Six more stories, 32 pages $4.50, Signed $7.50 PROMONTORY GOATS (CHAPBOOK) An original novelette (8000+ words) set in the author's ARGO cycle of stories (DEVIL IS DEAD, ARCHIPELAGO, etc.) An investigation into the claims by Kasmir "Casey" Szymansky's that he is the Antichrist. 24 pages. $3.50, Signed $6.50 CRANKY OLD MAN FROM TULSA (CHAPBOOK) A twenty-four page booklet that combines two very good interviews with the author by Darrell Schweitzer and Robert Whitaker Sirignano. Recommended to serious students of the Grandmaster's work. $4.50 TRUE BELIEVERS (CHAPBOOK) Also strongly recommended to students and serious SF scholars, this 36 page collection of reviews, essays, and a lengthly autobiographical piece was praised by the New York Review of SF and nominated for a Readercon Small Press Excellence award. $3.50, Signed $6.50 HOW MANY MILES TO BABYLON? (CHAPBOOK) Like the "Promontory Goats" story, this 36 page novella (15,000+ words) is set in the ARGO universe where the Church has gone underground and the move is on to find a new Pope to replace the one that has just been executed! Wildly different. $3.50, Signed $6.50 STRANGE SKIES (CHAPBOOK) The smallest of the collections (only 12 pages), S.S.'s brings together poetry and verse from a half dozen unpublished novels as well as the oft quoted "No Stone Unthrown" series of stanzas poking fun at various SF holy cows. A fun read. Signed and Numbered - $3.50 THE BACK DOOR OF HISTORY (CHAPBOOK) Six more stories, gathered in from as far afield as Germany and New Zealand. Over 15,000 words of Lafferty! $3.50, Signed $6.50 NOVELS ------ THE ELLIPTICAL GRAVE (TRADE PB) Dr. Pioneer Reventelo and the search for the Great Mutation. An original short novel (50,000+ words), 101 pages. $16.50 There is also a signed edition available that contains an additional previously unpublished short story: "The Man Who Lost His Magic". $36.50 DOTTY (TRADE PB) A non-category novel (whether this is fantasy depends entirely on your view of God) associated by reference to the ARGO books, though not a part of the main cycle. A 96 page (60,000+ word) novel. $16.50 There is also a signed edition available that contains an additional previously unpublished short story: "Holy Woman". $36.50 EPISODES OF THE ARGO (TRADE PB) The original novella from which the book takes its name, as well as two other original short stories; all of which are part of the ARGO cycle. This book was first runner-up for the 1990 Sturgeon Award and was quite highly recommended by the SWFA Nebula Awards committee (though disqualified on grounds of my "foreign" publisher status). 60 pages, introduction by Gene Wolfe $13.00 Signed Edition with alternative story ending $21.00 MISCHIEF MALICIOUS (TRADE PB) This isn't a novel but a trade paperback short story collection featuring five illustrations, and eleven rare stories, two of which appear here for the first time. Sixty-eight pages, over 35,000 words of fiction. $14.50, Signed $22.50 TALES OF CHICAGO (HARDBACK) First in a trilogy of hardcovered illustrated novels that make up the massive MORE THEN MELCHISEDECH; the stand alone climax to the authors ARGO books and stories.
