Yeah ... what’s up with calling a collection of short stories with title of a story that is NOT featured?? That’s the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen. Together with the back cover blurb that goes: “This will give the intelligent reader the opportunity to recognize his own superiority”. The publisher must have been really high on something. Anyway, reading this now, it’s genius like everything else by RS.

Side note: "To See the Invisible Man" translated well to the small screen in the mid-80s revival of "The Twilight Zone." Worth watching. Thank you also for such a fine review of this excellent collection.
