I dunno about the specific story but after perusing Amazon I have concluded that something is seriously wrong with the publishing system. The prices on Lafferty's works are outrageous.

So here's the torrent. R. A. Lafferty - Science Fiction Novels and Stories (13 books)

Yes, it's not easy to track down his remarkable work. Centipede Press is reissuing all of his short stories, but only in $100 premium editions with a print run of 300 (!) copies. Of course, they sold out and the book is now only available from scalpers for > $300.
