Rediscovering this site, I looked at Jack London, and
wondered whether I had the Dreams Of Debs, like there's
something of his I don't have.-a-a Well, I do, the
cornerstone of my Jack London collection is the
Complete Short Stories published in 3 volumes by
Stanford, in 1993, and in-print in the early 21st
century, at least, when i bought mine.-a It is more
than complete, beginner unpublished stories as well.
It is properly paginated through the three books,
so you only need the page number to find something,
and there's little ambiguity in whether a volume
could be mistaken as the complete book.-a It is
chronological.-a What it fails to do, is to list the
original books these were published, like Moonface,
or Turtles of Tasman, etc., with page numbers to
the individual stories, to get a better grasp on
the context of the original story collections.
Not much si-fi here, in the contemporary sense,
but I recall, Goliah, Scarlet Plague, and some
early ghost stories, with humor.

No, that wasn't the plot of the novel Iron Heel, it
was about the struggle of labor against capital.
I don't recall the ending being pessimistic,
saying "oh well, we lost, and that's the end
of the story".
