Amazon.com Book Description (ISBN 0446894893, Mass Market Paperback)

From Harlan Ellsion, whom The Washington Post regards as "lyric poet, satirist, explorer of odd psychological corners, moralist, one-line comedian, purveyor of pure horror and black comedy,"comes Strange Wine. Discover among these tales the spirits of executed Nazi war criminals who walk Manhattan streets, the damned soul of a murderess escaped from Hell, gremlins writing the fantasies of a gone-dry writer and the exquisite Dr. D(c)¨arque Angel who deals her patients doses of deathú Anything and everything that is good about short story collections is condensed into this one book, the scope of which ranges from satire ("The New York Review Of Bird") to humor ("Working With The Little People") to outright horror (the devastating "Croatoan").
