Apocalypses is my favorite Lafferty book, two short novels unrelated
except for the general theme of end-of-the-world.

"Where have you been, Sandaliotis?" is about the sudden appearance of
a huge island (or is it?) in the Mediterranean, and the world's
greatest detective (or is he?) attempting to find out why before it's
too late.

"The three armageddons of Eniscorthy Sweeney" is an alternate world in
which the great disasters of the 20th century never happened ...
except in the art of an incredibly charismatic man. Only, they seem to
threaten to become real retroactively.
