About the author
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1934, Harlan Ellison became one of the most influential and outspoken American writers associated with speculative fiction. He published a vast body of work across short stories, novellas, essays, criticism, screenplays, comic scripts, and teleplays, and he was especially admired for the intensity, anger, wit, and moral urgency of his writing.
Ellison is widely remembered for stories such as "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" and "Repent, Harlequin!" Said the Ticktockman, as well as for editing Dangerous Visions, the anthology that helped define the New Wave era of science fiction. He also wrote for television, including The Outer Limits and Star Trek, and his work earned major honors including Hugo and Nebula Awards.
Just as famous for his combative public persona as for his fiction, Ellison remained a larger-than-life figure in American letters for decades. He died in 2018, but his work still stands out for its energy, originality, and refusal to play safe.
