Like Asimov, Bradbury and Heinlein, Philip José Farmer looms large in the field of science fiction and fantasy. In fact, Farmer's short fiction reads like a Baedeker to the genre: from is formative years when writers were still hemmed in by editorial censorship to more recent times when genre boundaries have become virtually nonexistent. Philip José Farmer has written about it all: sex, aliens, time travel, religion, the afterlife – sometimes all within the same story. And if this all-encompassing collection doesn't contain every agreed-upon classic or favorite from Farmer's oeuvre, it comes pretty darn close.

Philip José Farmer (1918–2009) was an American author, principally known for his science fiction and fantasy novels and short stories. He spent much of his life in Peoria, Illinois. Farmer is best known for his Riverworld series and the earlier World of Tiers series. He is noted for his fascination for and reworking of the lore of legendary pulp heroes, and occasional tongue-in-cheek pseudonyminous works written as if by fictional characters.
