Short Fiction Various: Past Masters 177, v3, 19 Sep 2024

[Pulpmeister]

Short stories in the Life+70 years public domain, from newspapers, magazines, and old collections and anthologies, often out of print. Some creepy, some comic; authors famous and not so famous. (What started as a one-off anthology called simply Past Masters, has certainly gone on infinitely longer than I planned.) About 100,000 words, as usual.

This is Version 3 of this book, due to errors brought about by a Series of Unfortunate Events...

The Word file was corrected, and then the e-books recreated from it.
