This is a list of all known shortstories, that Lafferty wrote. I allowed myself the liberty to give a short critique to each story I've read. is a story that I'd recommend to anyone. is a story a Lafferty fan would like. are short stories, that are either really boring or just lesser variations of a recurrent theme.
You can now add your own comments to each story if you like, or read what other readers wrote.
Came across this gem in the short work anthology, "My Favorite Fantasy Story" (M. Greenberg, ed.) that I picked up because of the Jack Vance stories also included. Very off-the-wall concept but the dialogue is what really sets this author into that rarified zone of writers you wish to pursue and collect. Read the interesting intro to the piece by Neil Gaiman as well for insight into the RAL psyche.
