Howard Who?
“If this is your first taste of Howard, I envy you.”—From the Introduction by George R.R. Martin Acclaimed cult author Waldrop's stories are sophisticated, magical recombinations of the stuff our pop-culture dreams are made of. Open this book and encounter jazz singers, robotic cartoon ducks, nosferatu, angry gorillas, and, of course, the dodo. The first paperback (and twentieth anniversary) edition of a landmark debut collection. Waldrop’s capacious, encyclopedic knowledge of superheroes, baseball players, world wars, long-dead film stars, Mexican wrestlers, pulp serials, and fairy tales is put to good use in these sophisticated re-combinations of oddball television shows, radio pla...
Things Will Never Be the Same
Sixteen of the best short stories from the one and only culture mashup genius brain of Howard Waldrop.
H'Ard Starts: The Early Waldrop
World Fantasy Life Achievement Award winner Howard Waldrop's career highlights include classic stories like "Night of the Cooters," "Mary Margaret Road-Grader," "Heirs of the Perisphere," the Nebula-winning "The Ugly Chickens," and dozens of other fantastic tales that have delighted readers for over fifty years. But where did he come from? Did Howard Waldrop spring forth fully formed, as if from the forehead of Zeus, with his first professional story in 1972? Or were his origins more arcane, and perhaps messier? H'ard Starts: The Early Waldrop answers these questions with over 100,000 words that reveal the genesis of an author now considered a National Treasure--including six fanzine stories...

Going Home Again
The words "inimitable" and "unique" are bandied about too often in artistic circles, so much so that critics seem to have forgotten those words were invented to describe Howard Waldrop's fiction. Waldrop's mastery of arcane knowledge, his transcendent wit, and the way his stories explode like cheerty bombs inside a reader's mind have all made Howard Waldrop one of the most beloved writers of the past two decades. Readers who encounter his work never forget the experience, and this new collection compiles nine such experiences (heretofore uncollected), including: "Flatfeet!", a madcap tour of this century's first decades, courtesy of the Keystone Kops. "Ocean's Ducks," an homage to those brave black actors of the 1930s. Remember those "Little Moron" jokes in the schoolyard, like "Why did the Little Moron throw the clock out the window?" "He wanted to see Time fly." Now ask yourself again "Why Did?" And beware the masked Mexican wrestlers of "El Castillo de la Perserverancia"! Howard Waldrop's unique and inimitable talents are on full display here. Read on, marvel, and rejoice.
Other Worlds, Better Lives
The Washington Post Book World called Howard Waldrop the "resident Weird Mind of his generation, he writes like a honky-tonk angel." Explore this second retrospective volume of Waldrop's work which collects seven of his best novellas and adds new author afterwords to each and you'll agree that no one else can be quite as weird, quite as excellent.
