From the Introduction by John Jakes: Writing is a theatre of the mind and Fritz Leiber is one of the most accompllished of this kind of theatre. leiber's stories are rich with the pleasure and power of language. In every tale in this collection, you'll encounter proof of Leiber's ability to turn utilitarian words into strings of enchanted beads. Leiber's stories can always be read not merely for their surprises, their tongue-in-cheek romanticism, their chills, but for the sheer joy of their prose. Here are nine of Leiber's best.
