Title: My favorite Ellison
Product review: Non-anthologies of Harlan Ellison's work are hard to come by these days. I was fortunate enough to have a friend who owned this book (which I then unabashedly stole). While the anthology volumes may give you more sheer material - Strange Wine is in my mind a perfect compilation of stories due to the more manageable size (some of the anthologies are so huge), high quality of the stories, and the variety of themes and style. I think of this book like my favorite albums - each track is different and beautifully constructed - yet each still reveals the wondrous, dark, and demented imagination of Ellison. If you enjoy Ellison and have never read this particular book, I can guarantee you will love it. If you have never read Ellison before - start here and enjoy the ride.
