Mad Amos

Last updated October 31, 2026

By Alan Dean Foster

Ten tales from Alan Dean Foster follow Amos Malone, a giant mountain man of the American West whom some call Mad Amos, though not to his face. He handles the strange things lurking in the West, from a renegade dragon harassing railroad crews to a threatening volcano. Included are "Wu-Ling's Folly", "Jackalope" and two stories new to this book: one about a horse thief who covets Amos's unusual horse, Worthless, and one set in the South Pacific.
