Customer Reviews

All-American tales of scientifiction! None better!

Howard Waldrop has a unique gift; to find one subtle (or ridiculous) change in history, pivot on that, and create stories droll, hilarious, and thought-provoking, all at once. Suspend your disbelief and join in a Wild Ride.

The best writer you aren't reading

In 30 years, Howard Waldrop will have the same authority as a speculative fiction writer that Philip K. Dick has now. His stories are so insanely off the wall that no one else could have possibly even thought them up and so brilliant that only a master could have pulled them off. He manages to take familiar tropes and items that we know and put them in an entirely new context without the slightest hint of pastiche. The title story is War of the Worlds set in Texas.
