Howard Waldrop’s latest astounding tale takes its inspiration from an earlier era. Indeed, he tells us, “Where I really want this story to appear is in

Wonder Stories Quarterly,

Spring 1930.” A new collection of Mr. Waldrop’s exceptional short fiction,

Going Home Again,

was published last year by Eidolon Press of Perth, Australia. St. Martin’s Press will release a hard-cover American edition of the book in July.
