The Strange World of Harlan Ellison

For those who have read even one of Harlan Ellison's books, no further introduction is necessary. But to those who may have escaped the pull of his imagination, here are some examples of the singular Ellison talent. Stories and essays in which:

the terrifying specter of Jack the Ripper walks again, in a tale so relentlessly uncompromising in its examination of the nature of evil, you will not soon be able to shake off its spell.

a stranger who may have come from Hell strips the veil of hypocrisy from a town's placid existence, exposing, with awful consequences, the evil underneath.

gods for today--the rock god ad the machine god--are described in terms even the most devout will find compelling and strangely disturbing.
