Synopsis

For the third time, down that multicolored rabbit hole to the unpredictable, singular, frequently disturbing Ellison Wonderland of the writer the New York Times summed up thus: Harlan Ellison has the spellbinding quality of a great nonstop talker with a cultural warehouse for a mind. And this third expedition comes not a moment too soon. . . at exactly the moment a brilliant new film documentary, Dreams with Sharp Teeth, a film of the life and work of Harlan Ellison is beginning its premieres across America. Here, in eleven stories, a true memoir, five brandnew commentaries, and a linked horror story of Jack the Ripper by Ellisons great friend, the late Robert Bloch, the mesmerizing audio performance by the Author provides full measure of reason why Ellison has won Listen Up, Audio, and a shelf full of other awards including investiture as one of the few Grand Masters of the literature of the fantastic. This one is the best yet. Copyright on all content as follows:

Goodreads review by mark propp on June 10, 2024

ok, i now am convinced that harlan ellison was quite good actually. this is a little sillier than the other stories, but it is, like the last one, very fun & readable. feels like a twilight zone episode that never got filmed.......more

Goodreads review by I. on November 23, 2024

harlan's descriptions are so good, he knows how to write. yet, i have to agree with lena's review, as it's exactly what i was thinking while reading the story; "the concept might have been interesting if maggie hadn't solely been written about from the perspective of a gooner"......more
