A light crease in the middle of side margin of first leaves. Straight spine. -- "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 --- Contents: Introduction by Mortal Dreads; Jeffty is Five; How's the Night Life on Cissalda?; Flop Sweat; Would You Do It for a Penny? /​ Written in Collaboration With Haskell Barkin; The Man Who Was Heavily Into Revenge; Shoppe Keeper; All the Lies That Are My Life; Django; Count the Clock That Tells the Time; In the Fourth Year of the War; Alive and Well and on a Friendless Voyage; All the Birds Come Home to Roost; Opium; The Other Eye of Polyphemus; The Executioner of the Malformed Children; Shatterday; Biographical Note. …

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 394 pp., bibliography. "Disenchanted attorney Lee Kraiter travels to the roof of the world, where he discovers the secrets of The Dark Forces in an unfilmed pilot created by Harlan Ellison in 1972. "It steals righteously from Lost Horizon and the marvelous works of H.P. Lovecraft and the caveats of Charles Fort and even the Dr. Strange comics (with a nod to Billy Batson, Captain Marvel, and the old wizard Shazam)," exclaimed Ellison in his NBC-TV pitch. And if Kraiter's magical exploits don't satisfy your crime-fighting desires, checkout Ellison's unproduced Batman outline pitting the dynamic duo against Two-Face. Still not enough? How about an episode of The Rat Patrol guest starring der Führer? Maybe Ellison's original outline for "Crypt" from Logan's Run? Still not satisfied? Why not discover "Who Killed Andy Zygmunt?" in Ellison's third script for Burke's Law? Or, you could plunge back to the beginning of Ellison's tv career with his first-ever teleplay: an installment of the skydiving series Ripcord, Ellison's heartfelt homage to a Hemingway who had just suicided. The scripts in this book were reproduced from Harlan Ellison's file copies. The pages originated on a manual typewriter, hence the idiosyncrasies that set them apart from the sanitized, word-processed pages of today.". Nash, Bo (illustrator).…

paperback. Zustand: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check).
