I got my first taste of Harlan Ellison while reading my older brothers book "Above the Human Landscape: A Social Science Fiction Anthology" which has two short stories written by him.
Table of contents: The highway / Ray Bradbury The waveries / Fredric Brown Mother of necessity / Chad Oliver Black is beautiful / Robert Silverberg Golden acres / Kit Reed Adrift at the policy level / Chandler Davis "Repent, Harlequin!" said the Ticktockman / Harlan Ellison Balanced ecology / James H. Schmitz Positive feedback / Walt and Leigh Richmond The great radio peril / Eric Frank Russell Rescue operation / Harry Harrison Slow Tuesday night / R.A. Lafferty Light of other days / Bob Shaw Who can replace a man? / Brian Aldiss What we have here is too much communication / Leon E. Stover The handler / Damon Knight They / Robert Heinlein Carcinoma angels / Norman Spinrad Shattered like a glass goblin / Harlan Ellison The new sound / Charles Beaumont Rat race / Raymond F. Jones Coming-of-age day / A.K Jorgensson Ecce femina! / Bruce McAllister Seventh victim / Robert Sheckley Roommates / Harry Harrison Mr. Costello, hero / Theodore Sturgeon. "Shattered Like a Glass Goblin" is still one on my favorites. CW2V

City on the Edge of Forever is widely considered the Best of Star Trek
A Comic book version came out recently, Truer to his vision. The world is now dumber, but maybe a little less grumpy!

Hi everyone,
Many fond memories of Harlan Ellison. One of my favorite writers. A particular Harlan Ellison quote stands out to me: "My work is my work. It is my property... I'm a writer. All I have to support me in my declining old age is the work I have written. It cannot be bandied about and passed around on the Internet just because some pissant thinks he has the right to do it." I found that in the June 7, 2000 issue of USA Today. It's truth as far as I'm concerned. Robert P.S. Links to many other great Harlan Ellison quotes: |
