Why read it?

1 author picked The Book of Philip José Farmer as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The Book of Philip Jose Farmer is a collection of 16 brilliant short stories ranging from SF and horror to fantasy and satire. 

The most memorable and frightening tale of all—and one that I often use an example of a perfect paranormal tale—is “Father in the Basement.” An eleven-year-old girl employs her supernatural ability to help her father work around the clock for days to complete the first draft of his novel. He wanted it to be his final act, after all.

One of the most chilling endings of any horror story out there.
