Ellison has written or edited seventy-four books more than seventeen hundred stories, essays, articles, and newspaper columns two dozen teleplays and one dozen motion pictures. In a career spanning more than fifty years, he has won more awards than any other living fantasist. Harlan Ellison has been called "one of the great living American short story writers" by the Washington Post. They could only have been written by the great Harlan Ellison, and they are incomparably original. Among Ellison's more famous stories, two consistently noted as his very best ever are the Hugo Award-winning, postapocalyptic title story of this collection of seven shorts and the volume's concluding story, "Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes." Since Ellison himself strongly resists categorization of his work, we will not call them science fiction, or SF, or speculative fiction or horror or anything else except compelling reading experiences that are utterly unique.
