Harlan Ellison

Harlan Ellison celebrates four decades of writing and publishes his seventieth book with this critically acclaimed, wildly imaginative and outrageously creative collection. The award-winning novella "Mefisto in Onyx" is the centerpiece of this brilliant collection which also includes screenplays, an Introduction by the author, interspersed segments of autobiographical narrative and such provocatively titled entries as "The Man Who Rowed Columbus Ashore,""Anywhere But Here, With Anybody But You,""Crazy as a Soup Sandwich,""Chatting With Anubis,""The Dragon on the Bookshelf," (written in collaboration with Robert Silverberg) "The Dreams a Nightmare Dreams,""Pulling Hard Time," and "Midnight in the Sunken Cathedral."

"The Region Between" first appeared in Galaxy back in 1970. It had originally been commissioned as one of a set of stories by different authors who all used a common starting point as set out in the storys prologue, written by Keith Laumer. Ellisons contribution was a longer work than one usually expects from him, but it nevertheless sustains its bombardment of ideas and feelings throughout. Whats more, Ellison created a story that demanded a different format to allow for full expression. The result was a typesetters nightmare but, as you will see, the experience now only makes this story all the more fascinating, it actually takes you into the story itself.Mike Ashley

This irascible genius, this diminutive egghead scientist, known to the world as The Thinking Machine, is no less than the newly rediscovered literary link between Sherlock Holmes and Nero Wolfe: Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, whowith only the power of ratiocinationunravels problems of outrageous criminous activity in dazzlingly impossible settings. He can escape from the inescapable death-row Cell 13. He can fathom why the young woman chopped off her own nger. He can solve the anomaly of the phone that could not speak. These twenty-three Edwardian-era adventures prove (as The Thinking Machine reiterates) that two and two make four, not sometimes, but all the time.

Cuando la serie de televisión Batman (1966-1968) estaba en antena, el novelista de ciencia ficción Harlan Ellison ideó un argumento con el que incorporar a Dos Caras a la galería de villanos del Hombre Murcielago.
