Greatest Hits (Herald Classics)

Ellison was ahead of his time. Absolutely must read “I have no mouth..” a short story in this collection about AI. This book inspired me to start writing. The short stories are excellent quick reads full of thought provoking topics. Some of it is hard to read regarding violence, racism, sexism etc, but Ellison was always on the right side of history from my perspective.

Fantastic Great Read

A solid compilation of some of the best stories from a man who wrote over 1,700 of them in his lifetime. Yes, they're all short stories, but some of them manage to be heavy enough that you need time to digest and you're not going to be reading all of it in one sitting. I've been trying to read this book for about a month now, on my lunch breaks at work, and I'm still not done. In any case, once you read this, you'll see why so many other writers from various forms of media were so heavily influenced by Harlan Ellison, even if before this point you and everyone you know have never even heard of the man before. Just be aware of going into this, Harlan Ellison was a product of his time, very outspoken about every cause he was involved in, and the characters in his stories reflect that. Some characters can be very sympathetic, while others are very very easy to hate. Just remember that the emotions you feel are the intention of the story. Harlan Ellison had a lot to say about a lot of things, and love him or hate him, you cannot deny the man was a literary force.

Book came in great condition. Despite amazons insistence on shipping it in a loose plastic bag. Whatever happed to the cardboard box? Contains some of the best work, from one of americas greatest writers.

Harlan Ellison was a misunderstood genius of a writer. This collection of Ellison's work displays him at his very best. Open up your imagination and let Ellison act as the tour guide to his twisted view if the world. If you enjoy this volume, there's much more to seek out and to love. Mr. Ellison is sorely missed but his work remains to illuminate the pathway for the uninitiated.

Harlan Ellison has been my favorite for years. After many moves and many loans, I had no more of Harlan's books. I saw this collection and ordered it. I wanted to read "The Deathbird" and "I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream" and many others again.

Quick delivery and accurate service.

Great print

Discovered Ellison while picking up a copy of I have no mouth and I must scream for Nintendo Switch. Thought I'd read the short story - on paper - before jumping into the game. I just can't seem to put this book down(and have yet to play the game) - and got myself on out of print copy of the 19 gods series from Ellison. Great short stories... some of the best I've read. The fact the there seems to be no editing/consorship - the text is how the author ment it to be; word for word(I believe Ellison was militant about this), makes it all the more interesting! If you like short stories and don't know Harlan Ellison, do yourself a favor and pick this one up without even blinking.

Buena recopilación
