Selected Stories

Night Shade Books is proud to present The Best of Fritz Leiber. Edited by award winning editors Jonathan Strahan and Charles Brown, this new collection of the grand master's fiction covers all facets of his work, and features an introduction by Neil Gaimen. Leiber's work bridges the gap between the pulp era of H. P. Lovecraft, and the Paperback era of P. K. Dick, and arguably, is as influential as both these authors. From a historical context, Leiber in fact knew both of the authors, and his work can be seen as a bridge connecting the many different flavors of genres of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. This collection is aimed at getting Leiber's work presented in this context, reexamining his critical and literary merits of his work, as well as providing a historical context for it.
