Petersen A16.1a. Doctor Martino is a collection of short stories that includes "Fox Hunt" "There Was a Queen" "The Leg" "Mountain Victory" "Death Drag" and "Honor" among others. In these stories Faulkner experiments with a variety of literary styles and techniques; some of the stories such as "Doctor Martino" and "Beyond" contain elements of the supernatural while others such as "Black Music" and "Smoke" are indicative of the author's experimentation with the detective genre. Notably the most popular stories in the collection including "The Hound" and "Wash" are set in the post-war south in Faulkner's typical fashion and foreshadow his later novels The Hamlet 1940 and Absalom Absalom! 1936.
