Avram Davidson was one of the great original American writers of the 20th century. He was erudite, cranky, Jewish, wildly creative, and sold most of his wonderful stories to pulp magazines. They are wonderful. Now his estate and his friends have brought together a definitive collection of his finest work, each story introduced by an SF luminary. This is a volume every lover of fantasy will need to own.
