Description

#4 in Pyramid’s uniform Harlan Ellison collection.

Cover by Leo & Diane Dillon.

No matter how many books you’ve read, you’ve never read a book like this one…because there’s never been a book like this one in the history of everything. This is the first collection of collaborative stories ever created; it is unique, like the Abominable Snowperson or the Sistine Chapel ceiling. It is the ungovernable lunatic mind of Harlan Ellison, the most honored writer in the literature of the fantastic, harnessed to the fourteen wild talents of:
ROBERT BLOCH
JOE L. HENSLEY
BEN BOVA
KEITH LAUMER
ALGIS BUDRYS
WILLIAM ROTSLER
HENRY SLESAR
THEODORE STURGEON
A. E. VAN VOGT
AVRAM DAVIDSON
ROBERT SHECKLEY
ROGER ZELAZNY
SAMUEL R. DELANY
ROBERT SILVERBERG
and even one story wholly and totally unassisted. Each deranged vision comes with an introduction in the patented Ellison manner explaining how the story was written and who gets the blame. In the entire canon of Ellison’s work, this volume stands out as a berserk, delightful trip not to be missed.
