	Books - Exterminator!

Exterminator! is a short story collection written by William S. Burroughs and first published in 1973 (some editions such as the 1974 paperback illustrated at right label the book a novel).

It is not to be confused with The Exterminator, another collection of stories Burroughs published in 1960.

The collection contains a number of Burroughs' most popular short pieces, such as "Twlight's Last Gleamings", "The Disciple of DE", "Wind Die, You Die, We Die", "Ali's Smile", and "The Coming of the Purple Better One". Some of the stories, such as "Ali's Smile", had previously been published in other books and magazines such as Rolling Stone, Village Voice, Evergreen Review, and Esquire Magazine.

The title story is about an insect exterminator, a job Burroughs himself once held.

In the 1980s, actor Ed Asner recorded a spoken word adaptation of "Wind Die, You Die, We Die".
