Gene Wolfe
Some years ago Wolfe wrote three stories (novellas?) called "Island of Doctor Death", "Doctor of Death Island", and "Death of Doctor Island". I'm trying to track them down. Does anyone know where they have been anthologised? I know that "Death of Doctor Island" was released as part of the Tor Doubles series (and I have it) but I haven't been able to find the other two. Thanks. Bill Sinkins

Surely "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories" is part of The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories (And yes, I'm fairly certain they're the right titles.) Don't know about the others though, I haven't got that collection. I don't remember them from Endangered Species, but I've only read the first half.

That's "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories", "The Doctor of Death Island" and "The Death of Dr. Island".

All three are in The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories (sic). Copyright date is 1980. My edition is the UK one, so the publishing details wouldn't be much use to you. Mike Scott Mike at moose.demon.co.uk

You left out "The Death of the Island Doctor".
Whoops! I left it out because I didn't know about it! Now that means I have one more story to find. Oh well, I'm sure that it will be worth the effort. Bill Sinkins

The canonical source for the first three is a book called "The Island of Doctor Death and Other Stories and Other Stories". I forget the title of the book containing all four.
That would be The Wolfe Archipelago. Curt curtw at euler.jsc.nasa.gov
