#517 of 750 Signed Chapbooks.
From the publisher's website:
This one needs an explanation. In 1996, when Joe was assembling his first collection of early stories, The Good, the Bad and the Indifferent, and again last year, when ferreting out the tales that would make up For a Few Stories More, he kept talking about a long-ish tale he remembered very fondly, but could never find.
Joe made trips into his basement. Came out covered in dust, unfulfilled. Rooted around in his office. Not there, either. I wrote the university library that houses many of his papers. Nope. That story, "Duck-Footed" couldn't be found and included in either collection. Every once in a while he'd mention it to me, but I gave up hope of ever seeing a copy.
"Duck-Footed" finally surfaced, and though it's early, never-before-published Lansdale, there?s a freewheeling craziness that shows up later in novels like The Drive-In and Zeppelins West.
Join hisownself for another tale set in Mud Creek, one fraught with aliens, bad television, and televangelists.
Duck-Footed will be available only from Subterranean Press

If You Can Find It... This One is Gold!,
This review is from: Duck-Footed (Pamphlet)
A short story by Lansdale, published in a chapbook by Subterranean Press, a long lost work of art which has thankfully surfaced for all of us who want to know...
This parodies the 700 Club and the Religious Right. It does not put down Christianity, just the morons who like to twist and turn the Bible into a literal, dogmatic nightmare. The show comes on the television, and the shallow-minded begin to turn into ducks. A small band of people strive to escape... but can they? An allegory that holds up to the likes of "The Giving Tree," "The Fall of Freddy the Leaf," and "Jonathan Livingston Seagull." It deserves to be treated as such. Not available in any other form!
