Originally published in 1962 and re-issued in 1974 and in 1983, Ellison Wonderland contains sixteen stories with copyrights ranging from 1956 to 1961. This edition contains an Introduction written for the 1974 edition and updated for the 1983 edition. This collection was among Ellison's first and it shows a writer with a wide-ranging imagination, ferocious creative energy, devastating wit and an eye for the wonderful and terrifying and tragic. Among the gems are "All The Sounds of Fear," "The Sky is Burning," "The Very Last Day of a Good Woman" and "In Lonely Lands." Though they stand tall on their own merits they also point the way to the sublime stories that followed soon after and continue to come even now, more than forty years later.

Seller's Description:
VeryGood unmarked, no spine creases. 16 excursions into the fantastic universe of Ellison. Solid clean tight copy of PB 1st. 178 pp, all edges tinted yellow.
This is a collection of early Harlan Ellison pieces; many of these had been published in ?screwed-up version[s]?, but for this 'preferred text', the author has restored the original copy and even corrected and rewritten parts, and also added a short personal introduction to each story. Here you will find them all: the surreal Harlan, the magic realist Harlan, the gritty Harlan, Harlan of the space opera, even the comical Harlan. But, somehow for me, it didn't all come together. Maybe some stories are better left in the yellowed pages of old magazines. Maybe many of the stories collected here were written too quickly, under deadlines... All I can say is that this volume is for the hardcore HE fans; to me, many of the plots seemed tired and predictable, and the style occasionally repetitive. Do not expect the magic of 'Jeffty is Five' or 'I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream' over and over again.
