About this ebook
Avram Davidson was one of the great original American writers of this century. He was erudite, cranky, Jewish, wildly creative, and sold most of his wonderful stories to pulp magazines. They are wonderful.
Now his estate and his friends have brought together a definitive collection of his finest work, each story introduced by an SF luminary: writers like Ursula K. Le Guin, William Gibson, Poul Anderson, Gene Wolfe, Guy Davenport, Peter S. Beagle, Gregory Benford, Thomas M. Disch, and dozens of others. This is a volume every lover of fantasy will need to own.
At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
Avram Davidson
Avram Davidson was born in Yonkers, New York, in 1923. After spending some time at New York University, he served in the Marines from 1942 till 1946--and again saw action during the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. For two years in the early 1960s, Davidson edited Fantasy & Science Fiction magazine. He earned awards and accolades throughout his life for his SF writing, including the Hugo Award, the Edgar Award, the Ellery Queen Award, and three World Fantasy Awards. Davidson died in 1993.

Reviews for The Avram Davidson Treasury
3 ratings3 reviews
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This collection was put together by Davidson's former wife and his colleague Robert Silverburg after Davidson's death in miserable poverty. Some of the stories are light to the point of trifling, some are powerfully grim (notably "The Necessity of His Condition"), some are mysteries (or at least crime stories) , some are fantasies and some are practically indescribable
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5David Davidson's skill as a writer transcended his genre audience. Lovely, provocative short stories by a master, collected with care by a fan. It would be nice to be remembered in this fashion. I read it in a single session, something not recommended for anthologies. Pooh!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Probably the best Davidson collection to start with, and there are some truly wonderful stories in here.
