(urth) New Lafferty collection from Centipede Press

[Antonin Scriabin]

Awesome!  Reading Lafferty is one of those experiences that makes me
realize just how much a love reading, and it is great that this collection
will have so many stories of his I otherwise wouldn't have easy (or
reasonably priced) access to.  Can't wait to have them all, but I will say
I'm not a fan of the cover design.  I assume the binding and other features
will be of high quality.
