Herald Classics Greatest Hits

A collection of award-winning short stories by Harlan Ellison, one of the great voices in speculative fiction. Ellison’s work helped shape science fiction, fantasy and horror, and this inventive, provocative compilation gathers his best-known and most-acclaimed tales. It’s a rich treasury for longtime fans and readers discovering Ellison’s zany, polyphonic style for the first time. Included are standout stories such as “Repent, Harlequin,” Said the Ticktockman; “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream”; “Mefisto in Onyx”; “Jeffty Is Five”; “Shatterday”; “The Whimper of Whipped Dogs”; and “Paladin of the Lost Hour,” some of which have become Twilight Zone classics or award-winners in their own right. This career-spanning volume sits beside works by Ray Bradbury, Ursula K. Le Guin, and Isaac Asimov as a must-read for sci-fi book lovers.

Het boek telt 468 pagina’s en verschijnt in paperback, met een complete, grootschalige selectie van Ellisons belangrijkste korte verhalen.
