This time, the grandmaster of speculative fiction, Harlan Ellison, reads and performs a selection of his own work. Another old favorite, Another audiobook down thanks to the commute to and from school. It's a powerful story about obsession and what we can accomplish in the name of that obsession. While I'd read many of these before, I had not made the time to read 'Grail'. This recording contains classics like 'Repent, Harllequin! Said the Tick-Tock Man' and lesser known pieces such as 'Grail'. moreĪnother audiobook down thanks to the commute to and from school.

There was a brief intro to put a few of the stories into perspective - then BAM - full-on Harlan! What better way to get yourself into the (twisted? complex! disturbed?) mind of Harlan Ellison than by having him read the stories they way they bump around inside his head! I look forward to listening to the other volumes in this series ('The Voice from the Edge'). And, as an extra treat, I listened to the audiobook version, and it was read by Harlan Ellison himself. (Okay - sure, there are some dated references, but they are minor, and easily allowed!) So it is no wonder that so much of his work has been made into television shows or movies - OR, that he has written so much specifically for visual media. And, for the most part, the stories in this compilation DO stand up to the test of time - being mostly about universal human foibles. After about 30 years, one tends to forget the subtleties of short stories. fan for years, and decided to go back to re-read his works. (Okay - sure, there are some dated references, but they are minor, and easily allowed!) So it is no wonder that so mu What a great collection of Ellison! His stories never fail to make you think. What a great collection of Ellison! His stories never fail to make you think. I recently read some old pulp that Ellison had done at the start of his career and, even though it was basically 'kinky trash' that he churned out to make a buck, I liked that collection a lot more than this one. I think Ellison's stories probably work best in smaller doses rather than an entire collection at once. This works a few times, but by the time I was halfway through this collection, I had long since stopped being shocked or surprised. All of the stories have a strange premise and a weird twist at the end. The problem with Harlan Ellison is that everything he writes reads like a 'Twilight Zone' episode (he did a bit of writing for the show, and 'Paladin' was actually made into an episode of the '80s incarnation). I loved 'I Have no Mouth', really liked 'Grail', and thought 'A Boy and His Dog' was ok, and tried really hard not to fall asleep during everything else. So, anyway, this collection was a big hit or miss with me. Ellison does things like writing a story for the sole purpose of killing characters that fans love so that they will stop bothering him about writing about them. Martin, he is in the 'angry authors who seem to hate their readers' club.
