Summary
Details

This volume features a collection of six short science fiction stories written by Philip K. Dick during the 1950s-a formative and often difficult period in his life. Philip Kindred Dick, a prolific American author, is best known for his work in the science fiction genre, which dominated his published output. He sold his first story in 1951 and went on to write more than 120 short stories for various popular science fiction and fantasy magazines of the time.

The six stories included in this collection are:

""The Hanging Stranger""

""Piper in the Woods""

""Tony and the Beetles""

""Mr. Spaceship""

""Second Variety""

""The Variable Man""

The last two stories are notably longer and delve deeper into the speculative themes Dick became known for. These tales represent an essential glimpse into the early creative development of one of science fiction's most influential voices. This new edition offers readers a high-quality and affordable way to enjoy these classic works.
