_BUMPER CROP_ is a collection of short stories by Joe R. Lansdale published
in 2004 by Golden Gryphon Press. In his introduction, he cites it as the
companion piece to _High Cotton ,_ because he had so many stories which didn't
quite fit in with the "Best of" but were more like "personal favorites."
Initially issued as a hardcover, it has been reissued as a trade
paperback.[1][2]
In his introduction, Lansdale explains that the term bumper crop refers to a
harvest which is so plentiful that it exceeds all expectations; the excess
harvest is the "bumper crop."[3]
