What to expect

A collection of award-winning short stories by Harlan Ellison, an eight-time Hugo Award winner, five-time Bram Stoker Award winner, and four-time Nebula Award winner

Harlan Ellison’s work shaped the science-fiction, fantasy, and horror genres in the twentieth century, and this collection of his best-known and most-acclaimed stories is a perfect treasury for old Ellison fans as well as listeners discovering this zany, polyphonic writer for the first time.

Featuring these stories and many more: “‘Repent Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” - Hugo Award winner“Jeffty Is Five” - British Fantasy Award winner“The Whimper of Whipped Dogs” - Edgar Allan Poe Award winner

Includes two bonus stories: “The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World” “Shattered Like a Glass Goblin”

Critics Review

“Ellison, a major figure in twentieth-century science fiction, died in 2018. 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

“Harlan Ellison was, after all, one of the most interesting humans on Earth. He was one of the greatest and most influential science fiction writers alive. He marched with Martin Luther King, Jr. in Selma, lectured to college kids, visited with death row inmates, and once mailed a dead gopher to a publisher. Ellison brought a literary sensibility to sci-fi at a time when the entire establishment was allergic to any notion of art. To say he was one-of-a-kind would be trite, and he would likely hate that. What he was, was a legend.”
