Devilish Tales

- A collection of droll, teasing and very wicked fantasies

Devilish Talesaf Jerome Bixby
Bag om Devilish Tales

"Bixby is the author of the most horrifying modern fantasy I have ever read." said the distinguished critic Kingsley Amis The fantasies in this collection were written in the late 1950s & early '60s. There are plenty of laughs in this collection, but each carries a wicked O'Henry type sting in its scathing observations of the typical sexual relationships of the time. Each is a humorous and razor-edged satire on mid-century American sexual mores and morals. And though much has changed in the half-century since, Bixby's fantasies still retain an embarrassing relevance to elements in heterosexual relationships today.Fans of Jerome Bixby's film classics, like Fantastic Voyage and The Man from Earth, and his stories for the original Star Trek television series, "Mirror, Mirror", "Day of the Dove", "By Any Other Name," and "Requiem for Methuselah", will find much of the same penchant for biting commentary on human foibles and failures in these Devilish Tales.
