The Best of the Best It has been decades since I last read or reread Harlan Ellison and that is far too long. To call what he writes science fiction is to name a world by its islands. Ellison's fiction is experimental and old school, horrific and tender, forgiving and merciless, profoundly serious and wickedly snarky. This collection of prize-winning "stories" contains some of the best work of a truly great writer. But be careful. There will be no return to where you once were.

Ellison had a distinctive, unforgiving style. These stories share a harsh view on reality, an almost blasé treatment of the nastiness out there in the universe -- both real-world and in-universe. Sometimes even to the point of showing off, but mostly I liked the interplay between gritty narrator and unpleasant environment. I also found them very visually appealing, in that many would lend themselves very well to a Hollywood treatment.
A good collection. Many more hits than misses. ( )
