Critics Review
-
“This compendium of Harlan Ellison’s incredible life and work…is a highlight reel of his award-winning stories and more.”
Barnes&Noble.com
-
“Narrators bring some of Harlan Ellison’s short stories to life…Each narrator provides their own interpretation of a story…[and] Ellison himself delivers several of the stories…Of particular note are Dion Graham’s narration of ‘From A to Z, in the Chocolate Alphabet’ and Stefan Rudnicki’s interpretation of ‘All the Lies That Are My Life.’”

“A major figure in twentieth-century science fiction…His short stories, some of which provided the basis for episodes of The Twilight Zone, ‘ripped my mind open and showed me what the possibilities of fiction were,’ Neil Gaiman writes in the foreword to this new collection of Ellison’s best-known work.”
New York Times Book Review
-
“He was one of the greatest and most influential science fiction writers alive…Ellison brought a literary sensibility to sci-fi at a time when the entire establishment was allergic to any notion of art…What he was was a legend.”
NPR, praise for the author
