Fred Brown was a writer justly famous for his short (sometimes VERY short) science fiction stories. Letter to a Phoenix, Knock, The Short Happy Lives of Eustace Weaver...all of these gems and more are included. Highly recommended.

An excellent and affordable collection of the works of Fredric Brown superbly printed. Beautiful collection

There are a number of short stories in here that are far from perfect -- but you can't criticize a collection labeled "complete" for mixing up the one-star and five-star stories.
Back when I was a SF-addicted adolescent, Brown was one of my favorite writers. Unlike many of the authors I loved back
The famous classics are here, as are the non-famous classics, and plenty of stuff that was written for the paycheck and shows it. Even most of those show off his flair for turns of phrase. A few stories play like they were written to produce a rim-shot at the end.
A thorough pleasure.

then, though, Brown holds up from an adult perspective. In fact, many of his stories read better now than they did when I was mid-pubescent.
