A lot of his fantasy has also been recently reprinted in FROM
THESE ASHES: THE COMPLETE SHORT SF OF FREDRIC BROWN also.
Probably the most famous of these stories is ARENA, which a
popular STAR TREK episode was based on. Another favorite is
the story that begins, "The last man on earth heard a knock
on the door..." or something to that effect.
Among the pulp writers, Brown and Leigh Brackett seem to me
to be the only two who were really excellent in both the
mystery and the science fiction genres. Most of the others
who come to mind were primarily well known in either one or
the other area.
