Madball

Fredric Brown

synopsis

Fredric Brown is simply out of his mind with this novel, and once you read this completely out of hand take on greed, sex and death in the carny, you’ll wonder how in the hell he can pack so much story in so little space. Madball (told primarily through the eyes of Dr Magus) is a whodunit when the story opens with a carny regular being killed and the clever detective work of Magus, who has deduced that there is a whole lot of money missing someplace.
       Madball is making its first ever hardcover appearance, and to round it out, we have included two bonus short stories: Come and Go Mad, considered by many to be Brown’s finest short work, and the long out of print Greatest Poem Ever Written. Dick Adler has contributed a fine introduction. Limited to 300 copies, each one is signed by Dick Adler.
