Description

An essential collection of short stories and essays from the multi-award-winning author of Deathbird Stories.

"Arguably the best and most prolific author of novellas and novelettes that Anglophone letters has produced." -- Norman Spinrad, author of Bug Jack Barron, from his Foreword

Despite the awards and accolades that categorize Harlan Ellison as a science fiction writer, his canon of work spans a diverse range of categories across fiction and nonfiction. He is, first and foremost, a writer of the human condition, whether he's richly imagining characters' experiences and adventures or commenting on the foibles and follies of those he had the misfortune to meet and observe.

Over the Edge brings together ten of Ellison's stories and three of his essays. From a sheriff's ignoble end in an Old West town to a conspiracy on the steel beams of a construction site and an astronaut's lonely existence and descent into madness, Ellison's fiction resides in a genre of his own creation. Meanwhile, his commentary about topics such as writing for Star Trek and interactions with fans captures real human behavior more bizarre and horrifying than anything his imagination can conjure.

Includes: "Pennies, Off a Dead Man's Eyes," "The End of the Time of Leinard," "3," "Faces of Fear: An Essay," "Blind Lightning," "Walk the High Steel," "Shadow Play," "The Words in Spock's Mouth: An Essay," "From a Great Height," "Night Vigil," "Xenogenesis: An Essay," "Rock God," "Ah-Wegh Thogha," "Ernest and the Machine God"
