This eBook was created from a number of different sources: scans of magazines, paperbacks, hardbacks converted .pdf files unformatted .rtf files basic formatted .doc files As such, I took a little more liberties than usual with the reformatting, editing of the spelling and the occasional “layout & design” question. I absolutely believe it to be an imperative to preserve the author's original text (i.e. words, spelling etc.); to help preserve the sense and atmosphere of the time-period in which these works were written. On occasion, I did encounter some spellings inconsistent with Brown's usual style and some that were both distracting and very questionable as to whether they were the author's or misspellings/errors of some proofreader overlooked during the original publication of the stories contained within this eBook. As a result, I made some corrections to the original text. Please note, these adjusments were kept to a bare minimum. I also re-formatted each story to be the best possible reading experience on your eReader. No other adjustments of the author’s original work have been made. I present this eBook in two parts. Part One is a collection of Fredric Brown’s science fiction stories, and Part Two is his crime stories. I based my classification of these stories in part, of William F Nolan’s in-depth look at Fredric Brown’s work, published in 1984. To give you a sense of who Fredric Brown was and the scope of his talent, I include Robert Bloch’s very well written and informative”essay” as an introduction; unedited and in its entirety. For those interested in the source material from which these stories were culled, please take a look at the “Source Material” I included at the end of this eBook. Finally, it is my sincerest desire for you to have an enjotable reading experience of some of the best classic science fiction and crime stories written. Flyboy707 September, 2011
