The original text of Melville’s classic, but less of it. Reduced in size by 65%. Abridged and condensed for the modern reader, but including all the key scenes, chapters, quotes and character moments that make the novel famous. This version also omits any chapters that read more like a whaling manual than an epic tale of revenge, and provides short chapter summaries in their place. Punctuation has been updated for clarity and ease of reading. With these edits in place, we hope you will enjoy reading this abridged version of Moby Dick – one of the greatest novels of all time.

Tim Lieder's anthology is an entertaining trip into the Outer Limits of the Twilight Zone. It is a place where a War Against Clowns is violently waged, a magician is taught magic by a scottish crab, a pretty lycanthrope unleashes her wild side in a London club, and a not so imaginary friend helps a shy young man get the girl. Sadly there are no cannibal teddy bears to be found in any of the stories. Maybe in the next anthology. --- Chadwick Saxelid
