'The Weeping Stars' is a collection of stories written by acclaimed science-fiction author, Frank Belknap Long. He explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in stories dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states.
Long was a prolific American writer of horror fiction, fantasy, science fiction, poetry, gothic romance, comic books, and non-fiction. Though his writing career spanned seven decades, he is best known for his horror and science fiction short stories, including early contributions to the Cthulhu Mythos.
During his life, Long received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement (at the 1978 World Fantasy Convention), the Bram Stoker Award for Lifetime Achievement (in 1987, from the Horror Writers Association), and the First Fandom Hall of Fame Award (1977).

Story Three: The Man the Martians Made - No mortal had ever seen the Martians, but they had heard their whisperings—without knowing the terrible secret they kept hidden.
Story Four: The Mississippi Saucer - Something of the wonder that must have come to men seeking magic in the sky in days long vanished.
Story Five: The Sky Trap - Lawton enjoyed a good fight. He stood happily trading blows with Slashaway Tommy, his lean-fleshed torso gleaming with sweat. He preferred to work the pugnacity out of himself slowly, to savor it as it ebbed...
This are the original and unabridged versions of these tales. A must-have for science fiction fans!
