ABOUT THIS EBOOK

I created this eBook to gather as many of F. Paul Wilson’s short stories and novellas as possible.

All the stories contained within this exhaustive collection were either scanned by me from originally published print-material that I owned; or in one instance, converted from an electronic version (that I had previously purchased).

As such, some of these versions may differ slightly than what may be found in newer collections/versions; as the author (or his editor) decided to “update” some portions of the text/words/spelling etc. of some of the stories.

Rest assured, I present every single word of these stories/novellas as originally written by the author – nothing has been altered or omitted.

For technical reasons, I omitted the author’s two published screenplays from my collection. These two items just did not “translate” well into the eBook format very well (without losing the author’s original layout/intent of how the screenplay was to be read).

I also decided not include several of the author’s longer novellas for two main reasons:

1) After scanning/cleaning and formatting them, most of them were near or over 100 pages long; and for space considerations decided against including them

2) Many of the novellas were also word-for-word excerpts from existing novels, and again, for space considerations (as well as not wanting to duplicate text), I decided not to include them here.

I formatted all the material to display, as best possible, on current eReaders, while keeping the original layout & design and format as closely as possible.  It is essential to understand that due to the variables of the eReaders, how the owner has the device set to display text and the software (or settings in Calibre) someone uses to convert my epub into a different file format – the individual “reading experience” may vary from my original intent.

One note about the spelling, punctuation and grammar found in this eBook. Due to the author’s writing styles in many of these stories, his use of specific medical terms/terminology, and his reproducing of certain dialects/ways his characters speak, there may appear to be several errors that I missed during the format phase of constructing this eBook. I strove to correct all spelling and punctuation errors created during the “scanning” phase. I apologize for any minor errors I may have missed.

Finally, it is my sincerest desire that you have the best possible reading experience when reading these wonderful stories from F. Paul Wilson.
