Table of contents: title: Who better to parody science fiction than science fiction authors themselves?   In this classic collection of stories, compiled by Mike Resnick (winner of five Hugos, plus a plethora of other awards in multiple categories), such prominent authors as Arthur C. Clarke, Isaac Asimov, Barry Malzberg and a host of others take their pens and wits to make fun of themselves and the genre they live for.; title: Phoenix Pick is proud to republish this classic collection of parodies. All the original stories are included and the only changes that have been made are corrections of typos and other mistakes. One new poem ('There's a Bimbo on the Cover' by Michael F. Flynn) has been added to the book for obvious reasons -- it just begged to belong to this irreverent collection.; title: Contents:; title: Introduction to the 2012 edition of Bug-Eyed Monsters and Bimbos • essay by Mike Resnick; title: There's A Bimbo on the Cover Or The Art Director's Fight Song (Sung to the Tune of "She'll be Coming 'Round the Mountain" / Michael F.
