With Slippage, his most outrageous and wildly imaginative collection to date, Harlan Ellison celebrates the 40th anniversary of his career (now in its 42nd year), confirming his position as "the dark prince of American letters" (as Pete Hamill put it). With characteristic fits of brilliance and irreverence, Ellison writes like an angel--or possibly a certifiable demon--crosscutting the political and humorous, the domestic and cosmic, and commingling ancient history, modern morality, and the surreal.

"It's likely that the best of [Ellison's] tales, mingling fantasy and grim, angry realism in a distinctive mix, will be remembered for a long time to come. A varied and powerful collection."

Kirkus, 07/15/1997

"Harlan Ellison, the reigning bad boy of science fiction for more than 40 years, has mellowed--somewhat. Like Stephen King (who took more than a leaf from his stylebook), Ellison writes with a relish for gutter slang, veins-in-the-teeth violence and brand-name pop culture, and his work hums with a relentless narrative drive."
