Best of Philip Jose Farmer

Edited by Dorman T. Shindler

Introduction by Joe R. Lansdale

Subterranean Press is proud to announce a mammoth short story collection celebrating the career of Philip Jose Farmer. The Best of Philip Jose Farmer -- the working title -- won't be limited to his most famous creation, Riverworld. The Wold Newton Universe is also represented, as are the 'fictional author' stories for which he is justly famous.

The final table of contents won't be set until we have the first batch of stories available electronically, but you can expect The Best of Philip Jose Farmer to be roughly 200,000 to 250,000 words long, 500-600 pages in its finished form.

The Best of Philip Jose Farmer will be available in two unique editions:

Limited: 100 signed numbered copies, housed in a handcrafted slipcase
