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.
