"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. (Published: 1965) Hugo Award Winner, Nebula Award(R) Winner

Love Ain't Nothing But Sex Misspelled [MultiFormat]

Love has ten thousand names and a million different faces.

If so, join the remarkable Harlan Ellison as he dissects the soul and body of love in Our Time. In 16... more info>> (Published: 1968)

At the Mouse Circus [MultiFormat]

This story is written in a Kafka-esque, nightmarish style, and is filled with rich language and symbolism. If you like a heavy dose of surrealism every now and then, if you occassionally like to read something that is miles away from the nearest mainstream footpaths, if you sometimes feel a need to have your view of reality assaulted, then this story is for you. If you need to *understand* what's going on at every plotpoint and you aren't a fan of surrealistic writing, pick something else! The s... more info>> (Published: 1971)

They're all easily understood, because they use a simple and sound philosophy--it's a stinking life, so get your kicks while you can. The gang is home, take what you want, tell them nothing--and don't get caught. Two gangs of juvenile delinquents run riot in New York City.
