The Father-Thing: Collected Stories 3. This item is unavailable.The Father-Thing: Collected Stories 3

The third volume in a series of five collections of short stories from one of the most original thinkers in the genre. This third volume of Philip K Dicks stories is drawn, like Second Variety (the second volume), from his most prolific period as a short story writer. The 23 items were written in little more than a year, before his first novel appeared. Many of them are previously uncollected, but also included are several of his most famous stories, such as Foster, Youre Dead, a powerful extrapolation of nuclear-war hysteria, and The Golden Man, a very different story about a super-evolved mutant human. This is a marvellously varied collection by a writer whose posthumous reputation continues to grow and grow. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.
