DO NOT READ IN ONE SITTING
Nietzsche's death of God is easy to take to heart amidst Harlan Ellison's pantheon of modern gods, a vivid exploration of our psychological and social deities. Armed with Ellison's warning not to read the collection in one sitting, plunge into a melee of gore, drugs, and human skepticism, including Hugo Award-winning "The Deathbird" and Edgar Award-winning "The Whimper of Whipped Dogs." Fantastical and horrifying, this anthology features Ellison at the height of his career, shaping science fiction (or as he preferred, magic realism) from pulp into art.
Signed by Ellison on ffep.
