    An Essential Volume of Ellison Fiction!
  

*by B***9 on Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2015*

Looking for a top shelf fiction that ISN'T formulaic?  Look no further than THE TOP OF THE VOLCANO!"A Boy and His Dog" is set in an apocalyptic future wherein a telepathic dog named Blood has formed a symbiotic relationship with a survivalist "rover solo" named Vic. "The Whimper of Whipped Dogs", a story that mixes crime fiction with dark, urban fantasy, uses the horrific real-life murder of Kitty Genovese as its starting point.  "Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans" is a tale of existential longing and soulful searching that involves one Lawrence Talbot (a man with a decidedly dual personality) and Victor Frankenstein.  A Midwestern man discovers his childhood friend literally never grew up in, "Jeffty is Five". A homeless woman who has suffered a horrendous loss crosses paths with a mobster in "Soft Monkey". And a man's incalculable pain from the death of friends and loved ones takes a physical form that must be dealt with in "The Function of Dream Sleep".The stories herein run the gamut from science fiction to fantasy and crime fiction; hard-boiled, light-hearted and surrealist post modernist. There's even one story -- "The Region Between" -- that, because of the illustrations necessary to its telling, qualifies as "graphic novel" fiction.Harlan Ellison made his bones as a writer of genre fiction, but he also made a mark on the mainstream fiction field (influencing guys like James Ellroy, Neil Gaiman and Michael Chabon), and the stories in this collection show why.  Not a dull piece in the nearly two dozen titles.  THE TOP OF THE VOLCANO is DEFINITELY an Essential volume of Ellison fiction!Sciinne

    Challenges With The Format
  

*by J***. on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2015*

Harlan Ellison is one of my favorites, and these stories are some of his best.  However, as a Kindle product, this isn't great.  The story 'The Region Between' is not in standard Kindle format, but appears to be a 'fixed size' PDF or other graphic format.  You can only view it at full page size.  I use the Kindle to upsize text so I can read, and the format for this story doesn't allow changeable fonts or re-sizing at all.

    The Best of the Best
  

*by D***M on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2016*

It has been decades since I last read or reread Harlan Ellison and that is far too long. To call what he writes science fiction is to name a world by its islands. Ellison's fiction is experimental and old school, horrific and tender, forgiving and merciless, profoundly serious and wickedly snarky. This collection of prize-winning "stories" contains some of the best work of a truly great writer. But be careful. There will be no return to where you once were.
