From all accounts Harlan Ellison was a combative personality and his fiction shares that same quality - one of the short stories in this excellent collection actually involves a dual. A great scriptwriter, he wrote now classic episodes of many US television shows including the original Star Trek and produced a huge number of short stories.
Labelled a SF writer I think horror has a equal claim to his talents. There are only eight tales in this book but they include 'I Have No Month, and I Must Scream' & ''Repent, Harlequin!'Said the Ticktockman' - both Hugo Award winners.

Discarded was pretty well written. Blend of post apocalypse w pessimism w dash of science.
All the Sounds of Fear had an interesting premise which quickly went bad.
Silver Corridor- Fitting end for two bloated egos w uncompromising attitudes. Literally a head trip.
