Cat Tales: Fantastic Feline Fiction

Here are thirteen stories, three haiku, and a conventional poem, all involving cats. A few, like The Cats of Ulthar, by H. P. Lovecraft, and Kreativity for Kats, by Fritz Leiber, are ­well-­known classics; others, like Creeper Shadows, by Fred Chappell are freshly written and came meowing to us in search of a home. This volume in this series is devoted mostly to fantasy stories-a deal with the Devil, a re-incarnation, and a long tale of Medieval magic, even a dragon-along with a couple of murders and a science-fiction story.Included are:INTRODUCTION, by George H.
