Platen Stories is a 68-page, one-shot fanzine published in August 1987 in connection with Dave Langford's GoHship at Conspiracy '87.
Langford has never reissued Platen Stories as a standalone ebook since several items (marked * below) were incorporated into his larger collection The Silence of the Langford and more (marked ¶ below) were added to the expanded ebook of Silence.
