Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Paperback, [xiv] + 318 pages, NOT ex-library. Signs of mild handling wear, book is clean, bright, tight, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps. 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). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Format is approximately 10.75 inches by 12.25 inches. 374, [2] pages. Illustrations. Illustrated dust jacket. The Certificate for this special signed limited edition is signed at the top by Tim Richmond and at the bottom by Harlan Ellison. It is bound in before the half-title page. This is the most complete bibliographic collectors guide to the work of Harlan Ellison, including citations for short stories, novels, comics, periodicals, foreign language, audio visual and published/unpublished movies and teleplays. Fully illustrated with hundreds of color and black & white illustrations and photographs. Probably the final word on Ellison bibliography some 20+ years in the making. Harlan Jay Ellison (May 27, 1934 - June 28, 2018) was an American writer, known for his prolific and influential work in New Wave speculative fiction and for his outspoken, combative personality. Robert Bloch, the author of Psycho, described Ellison as "the only living organism I know whose natural habitat is hot water." His published works include more than 1,700 short stories, novellas, screenplays, comic book scripts, teleplays, essays, and a wide range of criticism covering literature, film, television, and print media. Some of his best-known works include the 1967 Star Trek episode "The City on the Edge of Forever" (he subsequently wrote a book about the experience that includes his original screenplay), his A Boy and His Dog cycle, and his short stories "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" and "'Repent, Harlequin!' Said the Ticktockman". Ellison won numerous awards, including multiple Hugos, Nebulas, and Edgars. "This compendium is not of my making: it is seventeen years of labor by Tim Richmondâ"standing high on the ladder of the most multi-talented people I have ever twined with. In company with his wife Andrea. He is an internationally-lauded string musicianâ"at least ten different axes including 5-string bass, guitar and mandolin.we were once trapped between-floors at a giant convention (with the BritPak) for more than three hours, and all that timeâ"nearly everyone in claustrophobic fear or panicâ"Tim sat cross-legged like the Ancient Ant of Atlantis, inscribing meticulously.page after page of this book. So, yes, it measures out all the work I've created in 80+ years.but this is Tim's (and Andrea's) labors. I am merely the shadow Tim has worked so long and hard to personify. It is my hunch that if Posterity gives me a backwards-nod, it will be because this monumental tome exists." â"Harlan Ellison®. During his sixty-five year career as a writer, Harlan Ellison has amassed a canon of work like no other. Harlan Ellison's work has appeared in nearly every literary genre from horror to mystery to science fiction to fantasy across every popular medium. His work has been translated into over twenty-six languages and is available all over the world. Over the last twenty years, it has been Tim Richmond's endeavor to archive Harlan's work and preserve the legacy of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. In an attempt to compile a complete collection of all of Harlan's work, Richmond's initial manuscript began with an extensive want list. It became clear that despite an earlier bibliography by Leslie Kay Swigart published in 1973, there was no up-to-date resource for the serious collector. After approaching Harlan with the notion that it was high time for a bibliography/comprehensive collector's guide, Tim was given Harlan's blessing with full access to his personal files. The result is a unique oversize presentation which not only contains standard bibliographical information, but also specific points of reference, radio broadcasts, unpublished scripts, artists, annotations and other ephemera. Fully illustrated with commentary from Tim Richmond, and a new, never before published foreword by Harlan Ellison. Fingerprints is not only a reference guide but a one of a kind celebration of our greatest living author. Stated First Edition a. Robert Culp (author photograph on certificate), Ar (illustrator).…
