Publisher's Note
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.

Industry Reviews
"The theme of this collection is to pay attention to life. As one of our finest short-story writers in any genre, Ellison demands and deserves close attention. By turns funny, angry, rueful and horrific, 'Slippage' finds him in fine form."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - Michael Berry (10/19/1997)

"Ellison can annoy, and sometimes he can disappoint, but he can still knock you out."
Locus - Gary K. Wolfe

"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."
Stasio

"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."
Lehmann-Haupt
