Three stories set in the post-apocalyptic world of a boy and his telepathically linked dog--inspiration for the Fallout video games and Mad Max movies. The cycle begins with "Eggsucker," which chronicles the early years of the association between fourteen‑year‑old loner Vic and his brilliant, telepathic dog. The saga continues and expands in "A Boy and His Dog," in which Blood shows just how much smarter he is than Vic, and Vic shows how loyal he can be. The story continues in "Run, Spot, Run," the first part of Ellison's promised novel of the cycle, Blood's a Rover. Here Vic and Blood find surprising new ways to get into trouble--but getting out of it may be beyond even their combined talents.

Over the course of his legendary career, Harlan Ellison has de?ed-and sometimes de?ned-modern fantasy literature, all while refusing to allow any genre to claim him. A Grand Master of the Science Fiction Writers of America, winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association as well as winner of countless awards, including the Hugo, Nebula, Edgar Allan Poe and Bram Stoker, Ellison is as unpredictable as he is unique, irrepressible as he is infuriating. E-Reads is proud to publish over thirty titles in Ellison’s brilliant catalog, now available in an elegant new package featuring Ellison himself. Genius never felt so combustible

Approaching Oblivion is a collection of short stories by author Harlan Ellison. The short stories had appeared in various magazines throughout the early '70s with the exceptions of "Paulie Charmed the Sleeping Woman" which originally appeared in '62 & "Ecowareness," previously unpublished. According to the introduction, the book was originally conceived in '70 as a call to action that would contain cautionary tales from previous books. Over the next four years the book changed to include previously uncollected stories with underlying themes of disillusionment & futility in rebelling. Classic examples along these lines are the dystopian "Knox" & "Silent in Gehenna". Other notable stories include "One Life, Furnished in Early Poverty" which depicts a man meeting a younger version of himself as a child & finding himself unable to ease the pains of childhood. The story takes place at Lathrop Grade School in Painesville, OH where the author himself attended & experienced many painful encounters with antisemitic prejudice recounted in the introduction.

Vše nové a odlišné je v literárním světě vzácné, avšak Harlan Ellison jako vypravěč vytvářel odvážné a překvapivé povídky, které se vyznačovaly drzostí a podivností. Jeho prozaické umění bylo plné života a vášně, dokázal čtenáře oslovit i v naší přeplněné slovní kultuře. Od revolučních padesátých a šedesátých let až po současnost, kdy se literatura potýká s klišé, psal stále elegantně a živě, pronikající pod kůži čtenářům. Nyní přichází sbírka, na kterou jsme dlouho čekali. Obsahuje třiadvacet nejlepších povídek, které získaly významná ocenění, a představuje Ellisonovu výjimečnou prózu v českém překladu. Tyto texty jsou plné světla a ohně od autora, který měl vždy co říct a věděl, jak to vyjádřit. Sbírka nabízí to nejlepší od jednoho z nejvýraznějších hlasů fantastického žánru, vhodná jak pro nováčky, tak pro dlouholeté fanoušky science fiction, a připomíná, jakých kvalit může literatura dosáhnout. Tato kolekce zahrnuje povídky jako „Kaj se, Harlekýne!“, „Nemám ústa a musím křičet“, „Kluk a jeho pes“ a mnoho dalších, které jsou přeloženy renomovanými překladateli.

Kniha se skládá ze čtyř žánrově velmi rozmanitých povídek. První z nich je dalším příspěvkem k druhu, k jehož označení by bylo možno použít názvu klasického díla H. G. Wellse „Válka světů“: Obyvatelé Země se s pomocí vesmírných lodí brání stále častějším případům napadení bytostmi odkudsi z vesmíru. (Podle této povídky byl natočen jeden díl proslulého seriálu Star Trek.) Nechte se překvapit náměty dalších tří povídek.

Hulk si už dávno zvykl, že v lidech vzbuzuje jen odpor a strach - láska pro něj dlouho zůstávala čímsi zcela neznámým. Poté se však přenese na submolekulární planetu a objeví jemnou krásku s nefritovou pletí, princeznu Jarellu, která prohlédne skrz jeho nestvůrný zevnějšek a spatří ukrytého hrdinu. Tím začíná jeden z nejneobvyklejších marvelovských milostných příběhů... Dokáže jejich láska překonat veškerá úskalí, nebo je odsouzena k tragickému konci?
