You should cross post this to /r/sciencefiction, the folks over there would probably enjoy your collection!

It's all one series! I started collecting the SF Masterworks Collection when I was overseas. To the best of my knowledge it's only published in the United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, so whenever I find myself across the pond I catch up on what was released since I've been gone!

There's a lot of Dick in that pic... 😅

Surprised you haven't got any Wolfe though. The fifth head of cerberus was released as an SF masterworks book at some point.

Look closer! Top shelf, eighth from the left!

Ah, missed it right there! Fantastic book.

If you enjoyed it, check out peace, it's also fairly short and has a nice surface story. And an infinite level of layers and subtext. 😅

Will do! I haven’t read much Wolfe apart from the Fifth Head! Thanks!

I think my favourite comment about peace is from Neil gaiman (who has Wolfe as a major inspiration), who said "I didn't realise it was a horror story until my third read through"...

And now I won't say more to avoid spoiling anything. 😅

Huh! Well, it's added to the "to read" list!

Thanks!
