Harlan Ellison Books Overview

Vic and Blood

‘World War IV broke out on American Independence Day, 4 July 1995. Then what was left belonged to anybody who wanted it; anybody with a taste for radiation and rubble. The ‘good folks’ sank their caisson cities, their sterile down unders, deep in the earth. And the snaggle toothed remnants of the aboveground were abandoned to the new masters of desolation: vicious roverpaks of parentless young boys…
and their telepathic dogs.’ From the History of the World, as Blood tells it The acclaimed series of short stories around the adventures of Vic and his telepathic dog, Blood, by Harlan Ellison is brought together as one stunning graphic novel by Richard Corben, one of today’s leading fantasy artists. This conjugation of talents forms a powerful saga of love, death, and the consequences of both in a devastated society. After winning a Nebula Award for Best Novella, ‘A Boy and His Dog’ was made into a movie starring Don Johnson and Jason Robards, which itself won a Hugo. In addition to the graphic novel adaptations of ‘A Boy and His Dog,’ ‘Eggsucker’ and ‘Run, Spot, Run,’ this volume contains the original short stories by Ellison. Features never before published sketchbook material from Richard Corben, critically acclaimed artist for Heavy Metal magazine, Hellblazer DC Comics, and The Incredible Hulk Marvel Comics. In a career spanning fifty years, Harlan Ellison has won more awards than any other living fantasist.

Web of the City

Harlan Ellison was awarded an honorary degree from UCLA for the excellence of his imaginative writings. Some smartass might even call him ‘Dr.’ Ellison. But only once. Because even though Ellison has come a long way since he started writing in the Fifties, he’s still the street fighter who assumed a phony name and joined The Barons, the toughest gang of juvenile delinquents in Brooklyn’s Red Hook area, just so he could write a novel about life in the slums. The real life story of those ten weeks in hell was published as MEMOS FROM PURGATORY. But the actual novel that came out of that period has been out of print for quite some time. Now, with its original title restored, e reads is pleased to re issue Web of the City, the book by a streetwise ‘Dr.’ who risked his tail and talent to write about the dark underbelly of city life. ‘Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read.’ Pete Hamill ‘Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts a rare combination.’ Leslie Charteris, creator of The Saint

Spider Kiss

If you thought the only thing Ellison writes is speculative fiction, craziness about giant cockroaches that attack Detroit or invaders from space who look like pink eggplant and smell like chicken soup, this dynamite novel of the emergent days of rock and roll will turn you around at least three times. No spaceships, no robots, just a nice kid from Louisville with a voice like an angel and an invisible monkey named Success riding him straight to hell…
The gritty rockabilly novel that drops the word on Stag Preston in the legendary, formative years of rock & roll, Spider Kiss will suck your socks off. This electrifying novel of the early days of rock & roll takes no prisoners as it runs an eye over the nice kid from Louisville with a voice straight outta heaven…
and the demon Success on his back…
and follows him down, down, down into a velvet lined hell where nobody’s grass is greener. According to premier rock critic Greil Marcus of Rolling Stone, this is the best rock novel ever written! A copy of the first edition in mint condition holds a place of honor in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. ‘Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read.’ Pete Hamill ‘Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts a rare combination.’ Leslie Charteris, creator of The Saint

Phoenix Without Ashes

Harlan Ellison, one of the Grand Masters of science fiction and a multiple Hugo , Nebula , and Edgar Award winner, returns to his roots with the graphic novel, Phoenix Without Ashes. The year is 2785, and Devon, a farmer banished for challenging his community’s Elders, discovers a secret that changes everything he knew about the world, leading him on a quest to solve a mystery beyond his understanding before his entire world is destroyed in a cataclysm. Based on the award winning teleplay. First Harlan Ellison Comic in fifteen years.

“Repent, Harlequin!” Said the Ticktockman

In 1965 Harlan Ellison introduced an unsuspecting world to The Harlequin, a non conformist and perpetually late rebel in a future society where conformity and punctuality are the gods of a totalitarian world. Taking time to stop and smell the roses, The Harlequin becomes a disruptive diversion to an otherwise well ordered, suppressed populace. And that’s something their leader, The Ticktockman, can’t allow. Honored with the Nebula Award for Best Short Story, ‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman has become one of the most reprinted stories in the English language, with the numerous foreign translations. Color illus.

Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes

Blackstone Audio presents: Volume 3 of THE VOICE FROM THE EDGE: Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes The Imaginative Fiction of Harlan Ellison performed, with new commentaries, by the Author For the third time, down that multi colored rabbit hole to the unpredictable, singular, frequently disturbing Ellison Wonderland of the writer the New York Times summed up thus: ‘Harlan Ellison has the spellbinding quality of a great nonstop talker with a cultural warehouse for a mind.’ And this third expedition comes not a moment too soon…
at exactly the moment a brilliant new film documentary, Dreams with Sharp Teeth, a film of the life and work of Harlan Ellison is beginning it’s premieres across America. Here, in eleven stories, a true memoir, five brand new commentaries, and a linked horror story of Jack the Ripper by Ellison s great friend, the late Robert Bloch, the mesmerizing audio performance by the Author provides full measure of reason why Ellison has won Listen Up, Audio, and a shelf full of other awards including investiture as one of the few Grand Masters of the literature of the fantastic. This one is the best yet.

Harlan Ellison’s Movie

The republication of Harlan Ellison’s Movie, the full length feature film he created when a producer at 20th Century Fox said to him, ‘If we gave you the money, and no interference, what sort of movie would you write?’ Well, that producer is no longer at 20th, he left the whole entire venue of moviemaking after Harlan Ellison’s Movie was seen by the Suits at the studio. There’s no use even trying to describe what the film is about, except to confirm the long standing rumor that it contaims a scene in which a 70 foot tall boll weevil chews and swallows an entire farmhouse and silo on camera. It’s Scene 33C.

The Deadly Streets

Remember Charles Bronson stalking the streets of New York blowing holes in muggers in Death Wish? Remember Glenn Ford standing off the vicious juvenile delinquents in Blackboard Jungle? Well, it’s more than fifty years and two different worlds from 1955 to now. And something the author of these stories knows, that you’re scared to admit, is that reality and fantasy have flip flopped. They have switched places. The stories that scare you today are the ones about rapists and thugs, psychos who’ll carve you for a dollar and hypes who’ll bust your head to get fixed. Glenn Ford’s world was yesterday, and Bronson’s is today. And in the stalking midnight of this book, one of America’s top writers, Harlan Ellison, invades he shadows of both!

Children of the Streets / The Juvies

When he’s down, kick for the head and groin. Avoid cops. Play it cool. There aren’t many rules in the primer for gang kids, but they all count. They’re all easily understood, because they use a simple and sound philosophy it’s a stinking life, so get your kicks while you can. The gang is home, take what you want, tell them nothing and don’t get caught. Two gangs of juvenile delinquents run riot in New York City. They constantly try to outdo each other with their clothes, weapons, language and lack of morals. They are not just kids playing at war they mean business. The only person who can infiltrate the gang is someone they can trust, someone like themselves. Someone who knows how to handle a knife and a gun…

Gentleman Junkie

The original 50 cent paperback edition of this book now goes for $100 in rare book auctions. Why? Because it contains 25 of the best, hardest to find stories of the writer the Washington Post calls ‘one of the great living American short story writers,’ the unpredictable Harlan Ellison. ‘Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read.’ Pete Hamill ‘Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts a rare combination.’ Leslie Charteris, creator of THE SAINT

Ellison Wonderland

Originally published in 1962 and re issued in 1974 and in 1983, Ellison Wonderland contains sixteen stories with copyrights ranging from 1956 to 1961. This edition contains an Introduction written for the 1974 edition and updated for the 1983 edition. This collection was among Ellison’s first and it shows a writer with a wide ranging imagination, ferocious creative energy, devastating wit and an eye for the wonderful and terrifying and tragic. Among the gems are ‘All The Sounds of Fear’, ‘The Sky is Burning’, ‘The Very Last Day of a Good Woman’ and ‘In Lonely Lands’. Though they stand tall on their own merits they also point the way to the sublime stories that followed soon after and continue to come even now, more than forty years later.

Paingod and Other Delusions

Robert Heinlein says, ‘This book is raw corn liquor you should serve a whiskbroom with each shot so the customer can brush the sawdust off after he gets up from the floor.’ Perhaps a mooring cable might also be added as necessary equipment for reading these eight wonderful stories: They not only knock you down…
they raise you to the stars. Passion is the keynote as you encounter the Harlequin and his nemesis, the dreaded Tictockman, in one of the most reprinted and widely taught stories in the English language; a pyretic who creates fire merely by willing it; the last surgeon in a world of robot physicians; a spaceship filled with hideous mutants rejected by the world that gave them birth. Touching and gentle and shocking stories from an incomparable master of impossible dreams and troubling truths. ‘Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read.’ Pete Hamill ‘Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts a rare combination.’ Leslie Charteris, creator of The Saint

I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream

Harlan Ellison has won more awards for imaginative literature than any other living author, but only aficionados of Ellison’s singular work have been aware of another of his passions…
he is a great oral interpreter of his stories. His recordings have been difficult to obtain…
by his choice. In 1999, for the first time, he was lured into the studio to record this stunning retrospective. Contents include: an original introduction; I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream; Laugh Track Grail; ‘Repent, Harlequin!’ said the Ticktockman; The Very Last Day of a Good Woman; The Time of the Eye; Paladin of the Lost Hour; The Lingering Scent of Woodsmoke; and A Boy and His Dog source of the cult motion picture. This recording is the winner of the International Horror Writers Bram Stoker Award for outstanding non print media.

From the Land of Fear

From the Land of Fear: 11 Side Trips to the Dark Edge of Imagination. Eleven tales by master storyteller Harlan Ellison. A look back at stories not included in other collections. In his introduction, the author says: ‘I would not write them this way were I writing them today. Several of them I find painfully amateurish. Most of the stories were written in the late Fifties. When I was learning my craft.’ From the Land of Fear has at least one or, in fact, two standout piece, ‘Soldier,’ a clever anti war tale included both in short story form and as a screenplay Ellison wrote for TV’s The Outer Limits.

Love Ain’t Nothing But Sex Misspelled

Love has ten thousand names and a million different faces. History will surely agree that America’s most destructive contribution to 20th century living has been that damaged product called plastic romance. It twists and savages us. After a lifetime of lies about what love is supposed to be, are you finally angry and depressed enough to be part of a ‘recall’ on that shabby, mildewed merchandise? If so, join the remarkable Harlan Ellison as he dissects the soul and body of love in Our Time. In 16 scalpel sharp stories that range from the legalized who*rehouses of Nevada to the steaming lynch towns of Georgia, from the abortion mills of Tijuana to the sound stages of Hollywood, the writer whom Oui magazine charmingly named ‘the perpetually angry young punk of the bizarre’ rips the Saran Wrap off love and hate and sin and twittering passion to disclose the raw meat beneath. Here are sixteen poisoned arrows from fantasy’s most improbable Cupid in which he presents a world of hearts & flowers guaranteed to revise your thinking about where love is found and how it looks.

The Beast That Shouted Love at the Heart of the World

FROM HELL is the story of Jack the Ripper, perhaps the most infamous man in the annals of murder. Detailing the events leading up to the Whitechapel killings and the cover up that followed, FROM HELL is a meditation on the mind of a madman whose savagery and violence gave birth to the 20th century. The serialized story, presented in its entirety in this volume, has garnered widespread attention from critics and scholars. Often regarded as one of the most significant graphic novels ever published, FROM HELL combines meticulous research with educated speculation, resulting in a masterpiece of historical fiction both compelling and terrifying. This new edition, which has been completely re mastered, is certainly the finest edition of the book produced to date.

Over the Edge

A brilliant collection of Harlan Ellison’s short fiction, featuring an introduction by Norman Spinrad.

Approaching Oblivion

The New York Times called him ‘relentlessly honest’ and then used him as the subject of its famous Sunday Acrostic. People Magizine said there was no one like him, then cursed him for preventing easy sleep. But in these stories Harlan Ellison outdoes himself, rampaging like a mad thing through love ‘Cold Friend’, ‘Kiss of Fire’, ‘Paulie Charmed the Sleeping Woman’, hate ‘Knox’, ‘Silent in Gehenna’, sex ‘Catman’, ‘Erotophobia’, lost childhood ‘One Life, Furnished in Early Poverty’ and into such bizarre subjects as the problems of blue skinned, eleven armed Yiddish aliens, what it’s like to witness the end of the world and what happens on the day the planet Earth swallows Barbra Streisand. Oh yeah, this one’s a doozy!

No Doors, No Windows

YOU HAVE NOTHING TO FEAR BUT FEAR ITSELF! The only trouble is, fear comes in so many different shapes and sizes these days. It comes as rejection by a beautiful woman. It comes in the brutalization of your love by an amoral man. It comes with the threat of impending nuclear holocaust; with the slithering shadows in the city streets; with the ripoff artists who lie in wait behind every television commercial. Fear is the erratic behavior of all the nut cases and whackos walking the streets they look just like you and me and your lover and your mother and all they need is a wrong word and there they go to the top of an apartment building with a sniperscope’d rifle. Fear is all around you. You have nothing to fear but fear itself, right? Sure. The only trouble is, the minute you get all the rational fears taken care of, all battened down and secure, here comes something new. Like what? Well, like the special fears generated in these 16 incredible stories. Fear described as it’s never been described before, by the startling imagination of Harlan Ellison, master fantasist, tour guide through the land of dreadful visions, unerring observer of human folly and supernatural diabolism. Or, quoting the Louisville Courier Journal & Times, Ellison’s ‘stories are kaleidoscopic in their range, breathtaking in their beauty, hideous in their deformity, insulting in their arrogance and unarguable in the accuracy of their insight.’ AND HERE ARE 16 NEW TERRORS TO SCARE THE BEJEEZUS OUT OF YOU!

Deathbird Stories

Harlan Ellison’s masterwork of myth and terror as he seduces all innocence on a mind freezing odyssey into the darkest reaches of mortal terror and the most dazzling heights of Olympian hell in his finest collection. Deathbird Stories is a collection of 19 of Harlan Ellison’s best stories, including Edgar and Hugo winners, originally published between 1960 and 1974. The collection contains some of Ellison’s best stories from earlier collections and is judged by some to be his most consistently high quality collection of short fiction. The theme of the collection can be loosely defined as God, or Gods. Sometimes they’re dead or dying, some of them are as brand new as today’s technology. Unlike some of Ellison’s collections, the introductory notes to each story can be as short as a phrase and rarely run more than a sentence or two. One story took a Locus Poll Award, the two final ones both garnered Hugo Awards and Locus Poll awards, and the final one also received a Jupiter Award from the Instructors of Science Fiction in Higher Education discontinued in 1979. When the collection was published in Britain, it won the 1979 British Science Fiction Award for Short Fiction. His stories will rivet you to the floor and change your heartbeat…
as unforgettable a chamber of horror, fantasy and reality as you’ll ever experience. Gallery ‘Brutally and flamboyantly shocking, frequently brilliant, and always irresistibly mesmerizing.’ Richmond Times Dispatch

Strange Wine

Harlan Ellison’s Deathbird Stories was selected by the American Library Association as one of the Best Books for Young Adults, 1975. School Library Journal said the same thing. This modern master of the macabre invites lovers of Poe, Kafka and Borges to a gourmet’s sampling of the headiest wine since Montressor’s Amontiillado. Strange Wine: the quaffing of deep drafts of imagination…
unsettling visions by the man whom Pete Hamill called ‘the Dark Prince of American letters.’ Fifteen previously uncollected tales in which the Pied Piper of Hamelin is come again, this time to pipe the Apocalypse for humanity; the spirits of executed Na*zi war criminals walk Manhattan streets; the damned soul of a Lizzie Borden like murderess escapes from Hell; a horn*y young man is haunted by the ghost of his Yiddishe Momma; an amoral womanizer seeks his awful destiny among the derelicts and alligators living in the sewers beneath the city; gremlins write the fantasies of a gone dry writer; the nephew of The Shadow wreaks terrible vengeance on the New York Literary Establishment; and the exquisite Dr. D’ArqueAngel injects her patients with immunizing doses of the distillate of death.

Shatterday

Mercurial, belligerent, passionately in love with language and wild ideas, Harlan Ellison has, for half a century, steadily gathered to himself and his thirty seven books an undeniably fanatical readership. Winner of more awards for imaginative literature than any other living writer, he is the only scenarist ever to win the Writers Guild of America award three times for outstanding teleplay. Though his contemporary fantasies have been compared favorably with the dark visions of Borges, Barthelme, Poe and Kafka, Ellison resists categorization with a vehemence that alienates critics and reviewers seeking easy pigeonholes for an extraordinary writer. The San Francisco Chronicle writes, ‘The categories are too small to describe Harlan Ellison. Lyric poet, satirist, explorer of odd psychological corners, moralist, purveyor of pure horror and black comedy; he is all these and more.’ In this, his thirty seventh book, setting down as never before the mortal dreads we all share, Harlan Ellison has put together his best work to date: sixteen uncollected stories half of which are award winners, totaling a marvel filled 105,000 words and including a brand new novella, his longest work in over a dozen years. ‘Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read.’ Pete Hamill ‘Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts a rare combination.’ Leslie Charteris, creator of The Saint

Stalking the Nightmare

Pure, 100 proof distillation of Ellison. A righteous verbal high! Here you’ll find twenty of his very best stories and essays including the four part ‘Scenes from the Real World, an anecdotal history of the doomed TV series, The Starlost, he created for NBC; Tales from the Mountains of Madness; and his hilariously brutal reportage on the three most important things in life: sex, violence, and labor relations. With a knockout, an absoloutely killer, Foreword by Stephen King.

The Harlan Ellison Hornbook

A major collection of Harlan Ellison’s incomparable, troublemaking, uncompromising, confrontational essays plus a foreword by award winning author Robert Crais.

Slippage

Harlan Ellison celebrates four decades of writing and publishes his seventieth book with this critically acclaimed, wildly imaginative and outrageously creative collection. The award winning novella ‘Mefisto in Onyx’ is the centerpiece of this brilliant collection which also includes screenplays, an Introduction by the author, interspersed segments of autobiographical narrative and such provocatively titled entries as ‘The Man Who Rowed Columbus Ashore,’ ‘Anywhere But Here, With Anybody But You,’ ‘Crazy as a Soup Sandwich,’ ‘Chatting With Anubis,’ ‘The Dragon on the Bookshelf,’ written in collaboration with Robert Silverberg ‘The Dreams a Nightmare Dreams,’ ‘Pulling Hard Time,’ and ‘Midnight in the Sunken Cathedral.’

Troublemakers

A special new collection of Ellison’s short stories, selected especially for this volume by the author, including the newly revised and expanded 6,500 word tale ‘Never Send to Know for Whom the Lettuce Wilts.’ In a career spanning more than 50 years, Harlan Ellison has written or edited 75 books, more than 1700 stories, essays, articles and newspaper columns, two dozen teleplays, and a dozen movies. Now, for the first time anywhere, Troublemakers presents a collection of Ellison’s classic stories chosen by the author that will introduce new readers to a writer described by the New York Times as having ‘the spellbinding quality of a great nonstop talker, with a cultural warehouse for a mind.’ Includes the award winning stories ”Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman’ and ‘Deeper Than the Darkness’

The Phantom Chronicles, Volume 2

High adventure and intrigue in the African jungle, on the high seas, and in the streets! There is always justice that needs to be served, whether it’s in the present…
or the past. Since 1936, The Phantom has been thrilling audiences who crave adventure! Nearly five centuries ago, during a daring raid at sea, pirates took the life of merchant ship captain Christopher Standish. In the heat of the pitched battle aboard the ship, Standish’s son was knocked overboard to wash ashore on a remote beach. After stumbling upon the body of his father’s killer, young Standish swore an oath on the murderer’s skull to devote his life, and the lives of his sons and their sons, to the destruction of piracy, greed, cruelty, and injustice. To the outside world, this man, seemingly immortal, has always worn the mask. As the legend grew, it transcended the life of any one mortal. And that legend became The Phantom!

The City on the Edge of Forever

The original teleplay that became the classic Star Trek episode, with an expanded introductory essay by Harlan Ellison ‘The City on the Edge of Forever‘ has been surrounded by controversy since the airing of an ‘eviscerated’ version which subsequently has been voted the most beloved episode in the series’ history. In its original form, ‘The City on the Edge of Forever‘ won the 1966 67 Writers Guild of America Award for best teleplay. As aired, it won the 1967 Hugo Award the only teleplay ever to do so!. ‘The City on the Edge of Forever‘ is, at its most basic, a poignant love story. Ellison takes the reader on a breathtaking trip through space and time, from the future, all the way back to 1930s America. In this harrowing journey, Kirk and Spock race to apprehend a renegade criminal and restore the order of the universe. It is here that Kirk faces his ultimate dilemma: a choice between the universe or his one true love. This edition makes available this astonishing teleplay as Ellison intended it to be aired. The author’s introductory essay expanded by 15,000 words from the limited edition reveals all of the details of what Ellison describes as a ‘fatally inept treatment’ of his creative work. Was he unjustly edited, unjustly accused, and unjustly treated?

I, Robot: The Illustrated Screenplay

Until the recent announcement of the Will Smith/Alex Proyas collaboration scheduled for release in 2004, numerous attempts had been made to adapt Isaac Asimov’s classic story cycle, I, ROBOT, to the motion picture medium. All efforts failed. In 1977, producers approached multiple award winning Harlan Ellison to take a crack at this ‘impossible’ project. He accepted, and produced an astonishing screenplay that Asimov felt would be ‘The first really adult, complex, worthwhile science fiction movie ever made.’ That screenplay is presented here in book format, brought to scintillating life by the illustrations of artist Mark Zug. After you read it, then decide: Is this not the greatest science fiction movie never made?

The Thinking Machine

Jacques Heath Futrelle 1875 1912 was an American journalist and mystery writer. He is best known for writing short detective stories featuring the ‘Thinking Machine’, Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen. He worked for the Atlanta Journal, where he began their sports section; the New York Herald; the Boston Post; and the Boston American. In 1905, his Thinking Machine character first appeared in a serialized version of The Problem of Cell 13. In 1895, he married fellow writer Lily May Peel, with whom he had two children. While returning from Europe aboard the RMS Titanic, Futrelle, a first cabin passenger, refused to board a lifeboat insisting his wife board instead. He perished in the Atlantic. His works include: The Chase of the Golden Plate 1906, The Simple Case of Susan 1908, The Thinking Machine on the Case 1908, The Diamond Master 1909, Elusive Isabel 1909, The High Hand 1911, My Lady’s Garter 1912, Blind Man’s Bluff 1914.

Memos From Purgatory

Hemingway said, ‘A man should never write what he doesn’t know.’ In the mid fifties, Harlan Ellison kicked out of college and hungry to write went to New York to start his writing career. It was a time of street gangs, rumbles, kids with switchblades and zip guns made from car radio antennas. Ellison was barely out of his teens himself, but he took a phony name, moved into Brooklyn’s dangerous Red Hook section and managed to con his way into a ‘bopping club.’ What he experienced and the time he spent in jail as a result was the basis for the violent story that Alfred Hitchcock filmed as the first of his hour long TV dramas…
This autobiography is a book whose message you won’t be able to ignore or forget. ‘Harlan Ellison is the dark prince of American letters, cutting through our corrupted midnight fog with a switchblade prose. He simply must be read.’ Pete Hamill ‘Ellison writes with sensitivity as well as guts a rare combination.’ Leslie Charteris, creator of The Saint

Sleepless Nights in the Procrustean Bed

Master essayist, gadfly, literary myth figure and viewer of dark portent, Harlan Ellison has been, for the greater part of his life, a burr under the saddle of Complacency. His two books of TV criticism, The Glass Teat and The Other Glass Teat, are taught in more than 200 universities and colleges. In this, his former assistant and confidante, Marty Clark, has culled from hundreds of rare and unreprinted works twenty wide ranging essays that demonstrate why the monstre sacr of imaginative literature won the prestigious Silver Pen award of P.E.N. International for his journalistic frays in 1982.

An Edge in My Voice

At the beginning of the 1980’s Harlan Ellison agreed to do a regular column for the LA WEEKLY on the condition that they publish whatever he wrote, without revising it or suggesting rewrites. This collection collects what he wrote under those conditions. He writes in a conversational voice, but he is impassioned, persuasive, abusive and hilarious by turns.

Harlan Ellison’s Watching

Most overviews of film are written from some high, sunlit mountaintop. In this first collection of Harlan Ellison’s cinema criticism with expanded, never before collected articles as well as an essay written especially for this volume come from the darkened interiors of a thousand movie houses where this most peculiar of all Observers of the Passing Scene has spent much of his life. The view is guaranteed to make you grind your teeth in anger, nod your head in blessed agreement, and open your eyes in a manner of judging films that is definitely not plebeian. Harlan Ellison’s love affair with movies is obvious. As an essayist, he has no equal; as a film critic he has no friends. Take care.
