STORY TITLE BOOK STORY TITLE BOOK

Here is the complete list of all 511 stories in the 17 volumes of Patrick F . McManus’s collected stories .

It’s a good starting place when you’re looking for a story . If the story is pretty self contained like “Rancid Crabtree and the Demon Bat” or “The Two-Wheeled ATV” you’ll find it right away .

But more often than not a given story will actually contain other stories as well . For example, the story “The Bush Pilots” also contains the story about the deep-sea divers .
