Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Harlan Ellison is undoubtedly one of the most audacious, infuriating, brazen characters on the planet. Which may help explain why he is also one of the most brilliant, innovative, and eloquent writers on earth. Slippage simply presents recent, typical Ellison. In a word, masterful. The 21 stories in this 1997 collection, which is encased in black boxes, show Ellison at the height of his powers, with several of the stories (no surprise here) major award-winners. Highlights include a black mind reader who pays a visit to a white serial killer, a husband who falls prey to a vampiric personal computer, and a love affair between a young man and a woman who may be more undead than alive. Perhaps even more fascinating are the painfully candid snapshots of autobiography running throughout the volume. Even if Ellison's unsettling fictions are not enough to dazzle you, his often bizarre life experiences as an author will still keep you compulsively turning the page like a polite voyeur. --Stanley Wiater --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
From Library Journal
Ellison writes contemporary, absorbing, literate sf and fantasy that often go beyond the genres' boundaries. The Nebula and Hugo award-winning author of I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream (1967) and Deathbird Stories (1975) has compiled here 18 short stories, two essays, and one teleplay previously published in genre periodicals and anthologies but never before collected in one volume. Included is his award-winning novella, "Mephisto in Onyx," a powerful story of a black psychic whose friend convinces him to look into the mind of a white Alabama serial killer. Essential for both general short story and sf collections.
