Custer's Last Jump and Other Collaborations — Howard Waldrop

"Story collaborations between cult figure Howard Waldrop and numerous other celebrated science fiction and fantasy writers are collected for the first time in this unique volume. ôOne Horse Townö breathes fresh life into an ancient tale, combining elements from the sack of Troy, HomerÆs early days, the last day in the life of a Trojan warrior, and the archeological dig at Troy. In ôCusterÆs Last Jump!ö the legendary Crazy Horse uses Confederate monoplanes in his famous battle against General Custer. ôA Voice and Bitter Weepingö paints a grim postnuclear age where Israeli mercenaries fight Texans in a never-ending, hopeless war. Mystery, intrigue, and treachery abound in the Heian Japan setting of ôThe Latter Days of the Law,ö where a clever man must find a lost prince. Each story features a riotously funny introduction by Waldrop and an afterword by the coauthor."
