Strange Monsters of the Recent Past

Rating:
Summary: That's Mr National Treasure to you.
Review: Waldrop is one of the few truly original voices working in science fiction or fantasy today. Stories like his Nebula Award winning "The Ugly Chickens" display his combination of a regional voice, traditional tall tale telling and a wildly unique imagination to their best advantage. This paperback collection brings together his second collection, All About Strange Monsters of the Recent Past, with A Dozen Tough Jobs in a readily affordable edition. If you're looking for something original, something different or just something funny and weird this is for you. The man is, as the Japanese would have it, a living national treasure
