I just finished all the “Feedum & Weap” stories, had a great time with them. These 5 or 6 page tales were in Feedstuffs Magazine, and from the 1930s-40s; they were found in Brown’s files in a folder. This is a younger Brown honing his skills at (a) the short, short story form, (b) the clever, humorous twist, or “impossible” crime angle (very Scooby Doo, at times), and (c) pre-Fletch version of “over the phone” tale.

Off and running with this book, a collection of short fiction. This is another Fredric Brown book, like The Gibbering Night, I never thought I would own - but suddenly I do, even if I’m now on a severe book-buying ban for the next little (long?) while. The first story, ‘The Wench is Dead’, was very good, if nowhere near Brown’s best. There’s a short version of ‘Martians, Go Home!’ in here; I read the novel.
