About This Title:

Madman Stan and Other Stories
by Richard Laymon

April 10, 1970: "I received a contract in the mail. My short story, "Desert Pickup," had been bought for $75.00 by Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine. It would be published in the magazine's 'Department of First Stories.' I went crazy wild with joy." -- Richard Laymon

It all started with "Desert Pickup" thirty-four years ago. Madman Stan and Other Stories collects twenty of Richard Laymon's over seventy short stories, from Ellery Queen to Cemetery Dance, and anthologies along the way. Madman Stan also features stories from the Bram Stoker Award nominated collection of 1994, A Good, Secret Place.
