I review this so the readers will know what they are getting for their hard earned cash and so they can know where to find these for far less. This reprints four novellas:

1) Bubba Ho-Tep - Published on its own after the movie and also in "Writer of the Purple Rage."
2) On the Far Side of Cadillac Desert With Dead Folks - In "Electric Gumbo" and "By Bizarre Hands." Also recently adapted into a comic.
3) The Events Concerning a Nude Fold-Out Found in a Harlequin Romance - in "Bestsellers Guaranteed" which may also be hard to find. This is a hilarious read, though, one of his best short stories.
4) The Steam Man of the Prairie and the Dark Rider Get Down: A Dime Novel - in "Mad-Dog Summer."

I loaned my copy to someone back when it only cost $45. It never came back to me. "Steam Man" wasn't one of my favorites, but it was the draw to buy this as it was the only unpublished novella in it. The rest of them are some of the best writing I ever read. You can find them all for less elsewhere though.
