"The first published stories are not very good by any standard"

I loved PKD's Beyond Lies the Wub, which was his first published story (published in 1952). I also really liked the story he wrote the year before (but which didn't get published until the year after) called Roog.

Make sure you also read "Not by Its Cover", a sort of sequel to "Beyond Lies the Wub".

Thanks for the recommendation. I found a copy here: [1]

I enjoyed the story, though the ending was a little weak.
