FREDRIC BROWN
10-29-1906...3/11/1972. ODD LOOKING!
Wrote SiFi,fiction,humor,crime,TV plays,
fantasy and pulp mysteries. Didn't like
it when his name was spelled wrong.
He was an atheist,married 2x and had 2
sons.He had severe allergies and asthma.
These 2 illnesses would later kill him.
He was also an alcoholic,a small man and
compulsive story teller.
He is famous for the short story-I really
mean that..most stories were 500 to 1000
words long.
Also dark portents,sinister under currents,
outrageous word play,wit and made up words.
Endings with a twist.
He barely made a living writing..now his
works are very expensive and he is a cult
fave.
There are 29 works in this book--1940's to
the 1960's.
Just a few-a little boy who beats the devil
with a water pistol, earth invaded by mis
guided aliens,a geenie,puppets,sound, and
a knock.
You will enjoy all 29 reads, Most famous
for THE FABULOUS CLIPJOINT, THE SCREAMING
MIMI and NIGHT OF THE JABBERWOCK.
Please read and enjoy!
AMAZON HAS A NICE SELECTION OF HIS BOOKS!
Pretty good prices if you will look thru all the
selection pages.
