The Man Underneath
by R.A. Lafferty· 2016
In a career that began in 1959 and continued until his death in 2002, R. A. Lafferty produced a body of short fiction comprised of well over 200 stories. This is the third volume of the Lafferty Library, a series that will collect all of R. A. Lafferty’s short fiction. This volume features Lafferty classics such as “Snuffles” and “Boomer Flats” alongside obscure later works such as “Calamities of the Last Pauper” and the rare “The Last Astronomer.” From the raucous fun of “The Hellaceous Rocket of Harry O’Donavan” to the quietly evocative “Selenium Ghosts of the Eighteen Seventies” to the disturbing “The Funny Face Murders,” the depth and breadth of R. A. Lafferty’s imagination is on display.
