"Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman [MultiFormat]
by Harlan Ellison
|
|
In the far future, time is considered so precious that it's a criminal offense to waste it. The dreaded Ticktockman (he hates it when people call him that) enforces the law. But then the man known only as The Harlequin came into the picture. One of Ellison's most acclaimed works, this story won both the Hugo and Nebula when it was published. It's part satire, part allegory, part warning, and all Ellison. 1965 Hugo Award Winner, Nebula Award(R) Winner

The Beast That Shouted Love At the Heart of the World [MultiFormat]
by Harlan Ellison

"It crouches near the center of creation. There is no night where it waits. Only the riddle of which terrible dream will set it loose. It beheaded mercy to take possession of that place. It feasts on darkness from the minds of men. No one has ever seen its eyeless face. When it sleeps we know a few moments of peace. But when it breathes again we go down in fire and mate with jackals. It knows our fear. It has our number. It waited for our coming and it will abide long after we have become congea... more info>> 1969

Stalking the Nightmare [MultiFormat]
by Harlan Ellison

Pure, 100-proof distillation of Ellison. A righteous verbal high! Here you'll find twenty of his very best stories and essays (including the four-part "Scenes from the Real World), an anecdotal history of the doomed TV series, The Starlost, he created for NBC; Tales from the Mountains of Madness; and his hilariously brutal reportage on the three most important things in life: sex, violence, and labor relations. With a knockout, an absolutely killer, Foreword by Stephen King. 1982

Love Ain't Nothing But Sex Misspelled [MultiFormat]
by Harlan Ellison

Love has ten thousand names and a million different faces.

After a lifetime of lies about what love is supposed to be, are you finally angry and depressed enough to be part of a "recall" on that shabby, mildewed merchandise? If so, join the remarkable Harlan Ellison as he dissects the soul and body of love in Our Time. In 16... more info>> 1968
