The Long Ones
The Long Ones is a rare compilation of novellas by Joe R. Lansdale, which are too long to be "short stories", but too short to be "novels". It was apparently only printed once, in hardcover form, in 1999. Contents. At the time, "The Steam Man" was exclusive to this collection, but it has been subsequently re-published in "Mad Dog Summer" as well as the short-story anthology "Steampunk".
