Strange Doings
R. A. Lafferty
FROM BIZARRE HUMOR TO SHEER HORROR
The sixteen stories in this surprising book cover the entire range of fantasy. All are off-beat with the wry, playful, unboundaried imagination that has gained R.A. Lafferty a steadily increasing following of delighted readers.
Stories such as World Abounding, The Man with the Speckled Eyes, Entire and Perfect Chrsolite, Cliffs That Laughed, and the Hugo-contending Continued on Next Rock, reveal Lafferty penetrating to the zany realities of the human and inhuman condition.
You will move through strange worlds of personality literally splitting itself, of nightmares becoming true and preferred, of the perils of doubting and the hazards of believing. And in each story you will move through the individual and beautiful styles of a master of the unexpected turn of phrase, idea and situation.
