The Beast that Shouted Love at the Heart of the World (1969)

*note to self.copy from Al.

My favorite Ellison collection - particularly "A Boy and His Dog". ( )

Brilliant is a word used too often, but it can't ever be used too often with Harlan Ellison. His stories bring up strong emotions- love 'em or hate 'em- with a skill and craftsmanship that is unique and incomparable. He is an artist of the highest order. Glass Goblin and Dull Knife are 2 of my favorites here, Santa makes me laugh. ( )

One of Ellison's best collections, with one of my favorite fantasy stories ever, "Shattered Like a Glass Goblin." ( )

A collection of typically hard-hitting sci-fi stories by the unique Mr. Ellison that mark the reader like a paper cut to the eyeball. The best of the bunch is "A Boy and His Dog", with quite a nifty ending. ( )
