    Man in a Hurry and Other Fantasy Stories

    About this ebook

    Alan Nelson was not a prolific writer, and as far as I know he wrote (or at least had published) only short stories. No novels. However, these stories are true gems. They originally appeared in some of the most prestigious venues for short fiction of the 1940s and 1950s. Many of Nelson's fantasy tales first appeared in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction, where they were very popular, but his stories also appeared in Bluebook, Weird Tales, and even Cosmopolitan. Wherever these appeared, readers could always be assured that any Alan Nelson story would be something special, something that would be great fun to read and eminently entertaining-often thoughtful-always wonderful!" -- GARY LOVISI
