Customer Reviews

That's Mr National Treasure to you.

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
