Synopsis

In a post-apocalyptic future, fifteen-year-old Vic wanders the wasteland with Blood, his
genetically-altered telepathic dog, in a struggle for survival against violent marauders, deadly
radioactive insects, and an underground community desperate to restore the human race in the
Hugo Award–nominated and Nebula Award–winning novella, “A Boy and His Dog,”—the
basis of the cult classic film.
An intergalactic conspiracy infects the minds of the most powerful politicians in the
Republican Party—and only one jolly old elf can save them in “Santa Claus vs. S.P.I.D.E.R.”
And in the Hugo Award–winning title story, disparate threads of violence, conflict, and
conversation weave an intricate tapestry across worlds and times in an experimental tour-deforce of the imagination.
This groundbreaking collection brings together some of Harlan Ellison’s most innovative
and intriguing stories, frightening and funny visions of human nature that can only come from
the peerless Grand Master of Science Fiction.

Ellison's got some stories in here that make me think and feel. Others, not so much. There were even a couple I'm not smart enough to comprehend yet.......more
