'''Howard Waldrop''' is an American SF writer of mostly short stories.
Wikipedia says of him, "His style is sometimes obscure or elliptical", which is unnecessarily tentative -- a Waldrop story is a story that you either get or you don't. If you do get it, it's awesome.

* "The Ugly Chickens", in which a researcher discovers that the dodo survived the extinction of the native population in the form of a flock owned by a farmer in the American backwoods. Won the [[Nebula Award]] and the World Fantasy Award.
* "Night of the Cooters", in which one of the alien war machines from [[H. G. Wells]]'s ''[[The War of the Worlds (novel)|The War of the Worlds]]'' goes off-course and lands in Texas instead of England.
Line 12:
He has contributed to the ''[[Wild Cards]]'' series (he wrote "Thirty Minutes Over Broadway!", the story that set up the whole premise) and to the [[Turkey City Lexicon]].
