All of the stories (except for "Events Concerning ...") in this collection were printed the previous year in "Stories by Mama Lansdale's Youngest Boy", but this collection had a larger print run. These collections are the only collections which include "Pentecostal Punk Rock", and "The White Rabbit" has only subsequently been printed in the extremely limited edition "A Little Green Book of Monster Stories".
