SailorScoutMandy | 782 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream by Harlan Ellison First published in 1967 and re-issued in 1983, I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream contains seven stories with copyrights ranging from 1958 through 1967. This edition contains the original introduction by Theodore Sturgeon and the original foreword by Harlan Ellison, along with a brief update comment by Ellison that was added in the 1983 edition. Among Ellison's more famous stories, two consistently noted as among his very best ever are the title story and the volume's concluding one, Pretty Maggie Moneyeyes. Since Ellison himself strongly resists categorization of his work, we won't call them science fiction, or SF, or speculative fiction or horror or anything else except compelling reading experiences that are sui generis. They could only have been written by Harlan Ellison and they are incomparably original.

Reed Rothchild | 9,637 Editorials Team · Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Finally arrived, and it's nice and short, which is perfect because I'm already reading a bunch of other books. Been really curious about this one since reading Becoming Superman where the author befriends Ellison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reed Rothchild | 9,637 Editorials Team · Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 Finished it. Title story was great. A few others were okay. Rest were pretty weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, but I didn't even think the title story was that good. Cool concept but the writing felt like it was trying too hard to sound grandiose. The other stories didn't seem to have the same airs.

PII | 1,915 Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Well, I had someone who was supposed to supply me a copy, but they flaked so I guess I miss out on it, at least for this November. I was really genuinely curious to give this one a read though, so It'll probably happen eventually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
