A rare, racy dose of Jazz Age supernatural humor from the master of comic fantasy. This volume features a popular short story by Thorne Smith, the celebrated early 20th-century American author best known for his novels Topper. Smith's signature style blends the supernatural with a sophisticated, witty, and often risque sense of humor, perfectly capturing the anarchic spirit of the Prohibition era. A Smokey Lady in Knickers is an exemplar of Smith's comic genius. It is a lighthearted tale of a bizarre supernatural encounter, where the mundane world is invaded by an eccentric, lightly-clad specter--a theme that prefigures the chaotic, booze-fueled antics of the ghostly Kerby couple in his famous Topper series. The story belongs to the genre of "humorous supernatural fantasy," offering a blend of genuine fantasy elements with a highly subversive, cocktail-party sensibility. This edition preserves one of the best of Smith's short-form works that helped establish him as an iconic voice in American comic literature.
