Harlan, or HE, as he's affectionately called by fandom, is/was a writer of such import that his loss is a tremendous one. And I'm not only referring to his fiction, but his NONfiction: his duology on television, The Glass Teat and The Other Glass Teat, along with his books of essays/columns, An Edge in My Voice and The Harlan Ellison Hornbook, are essential reading.
HE was the master of the short story, and no disrespect to all the other fine writers of our time — Poe and Bradbury included — but Ellison dominated the format like no other.
His collections Deathbird Stories, Shatterday, Strange Wine, and Love Ain't Nothin' But Sex Misspelled are mind-blowing.
