When she’s incarcerated under the authority of a shadowy new defense act, Riley is sent to one of a growing number of American Renewal Centers (ARCs)—institutions modeled after psychiatric facilities—for mandatory reeducation. Forced therapy, involuntary medication, solitary confinement, restricted rations, and more are all in the ARC program’s bag of dirty tricks designed to break down dissidents. Give in, and you go free. Resist, and … Riley declares a one-woman war against the gaslighting and manipulation in a struggle to take down the ARC program and its white-coated collaborators.

If you think the only thing Ellison writes is speculative fiction, craziness about giant cockroaches that attack Detroit, or invaders from space who look like pink eggplant and smell like chicken soup, this dynamite novel of the emergent days of rock and roll will turn you around at least three times. No spaceships, no robots, just a nice kid from Louisville named Stag Preston with a voice like an angel, seductive moves like the devil, and an invisible monkey named Success riding him straight to hell.

People work; folk play. That is how it has been in this country for as long as Sam can remember. He is happy, and he understands that this is the way it should be. People are bigger than folk. They are stronger. They do not need food or water. They do not need the warmth of a fire. All they need are jobs to do and a blacksmith to fix them when they break. The people work so the folk can drink their moonshine, fish a little, and throw horseshoes. But once Sam starts to wonder why the world is like this, his life will never be the same.

At Shadows Casino, this isn’t just a phrase, it’s a grim reality. Far from prying eyes is a world of decadent pleasure, and unimaginable pain, where only the desperate or the rich dare to tread. Cee is the leader of the sinister establishment, but that hasn’t always been her story. Long before she'd ever heard of a parlay or letting it ride, Cee was just a little girl with a daddy who liked to gamble. And when her daddy brought her into Shadows, he made a bet that changed both of their lives forever.

On publication, it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its implied sexual content, and the novella hurt Machen's reputation as an author. Beginning in the 1920s, Machen's work was critically re-evaluated and The Great God Pan has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror.

King has, for half a century, been a master of the form, and these stories, about fate, mortality, luck, and the folds in reality where anything can happen, are as rich and riveting as his novels, both weighty in theme and a huge pleasure to digest.

Story
In a post-apocalyptic future, 15-year-old Vic wanders the wasteland with Blood, his genetically-altered telepathic dog, in the Hugo Award-nominated and Nebula Award-winning novella, A Boy and His Dog - the basis of the cult classic film. An intergalactic conspiracy infects the minds of the most powerful politicians in the Republican Party - and only one jolly old elf can save them in “Santa Claus vs. S.P.I.D.E.R.” And in the Hugo Award-winning title story, disparate threads of violence, conflict, and conversation weave an intricate tapestry across worlds and times.

Story
In the late 1960s and early 1970s, there were only three major television networks. And there was only one Harlan Ellison taking them all to task in a series of weekly essays he wrote for the countercultural, underground newspaper, the Los Angeles Free Press, a.k.a. “The Freep”. For nearly four years, he channel-surfed through the mire of ABC, CBS, and NBC, finding little of value but much to critique. No one offered a more astute analysis of the idiot box’s influence on American culture, or its effects on the intelligence and psyche of viewers.

The original teleplay that became the classic Star Trek episode, with an expanded introductory essay by Harlan Ellison, The City on the Edge of Forever has been surrounded by controversy since the airing of an "eviscerated" version - which subsequently has been voted the most beloved episode in the series' history. In its original form, The City on the Edge of Forever won the 1966-67 Writers Guild of America Award for Best Teleplay. As aired, it won the 1967 Hugo Award.

Story
Considered Keith Roberts' masterwork, this novel consists of linked short stories (six measures and a coda) of a 20th century in which the Roman Catholic Church controls the Western world, and has done so since Queen Elizabeth of England was assassinated in 1588. The Protestant Reformation never happened, and the world is kept in a Dark Age of steam-power transportation, with no allowance for electrical power, by a tyrannical Rome.

Read, listen, consume Harlan Ellison
If you love Scifi then at least part of you loves Harlan Elllison.
Anyone new to Harlan should understand these writings are products of their time. The views of 20, 30, 40 years ago aren't the same as today, thought the lessons seem to be the same.
Harlan wrote through the lens of science fiction, horror, and the human condition, his stories are a mirror which he holds up right in our face and asks what do you see and before we can answer he's telling us what he sees. Sometimes it ain't pretty.
As an audio book it is a privilege to have the author deliver his work in this way. To hear his own words, every emotion, sarcastic quip, and expression the way he wanted it read.

The stories are so good. I liked the ones narrated by Harlan Ellison himself and especially the insights into his life throughout the book.

Narrators Mostly Miss the Mark
Most of the narrators were screeching during the stories. One or 2 understood how to read them. Spoiled the book so much :(

Huge fan of the writing but NOT of this production
From a great Harlan Ellison Fan:
People. C'mon.
J. Michael Straczynski, the editor of the book, is a discerning film-maker, isn't he? He's also the curator of Harlan's work, from what he says (or what Grover Gardner says) in the intro? Harlan's audio work deserves better treatment. (Where's audio producers Yuri Rasovsky (RIP) or Stefan Rudnicki, who is very much still with us, for that matter?) As the editor actually says in the intro, Harlan was meticulous in curating his audio work. As an audiobook, this obviously had no captain at the helm (no producer or director credits at the end?) And although there was a big disclaimer at the top about offending anyone with outdated politically incorrect attitudes and words from the past, there is absolutely NO explanation as to what the heck we're listening to. The listener is absolutely lost as to what the heck is going on. There are live clips of Harlan reading his own material; then out of the blue we get contemporary narrators, most of whom have no grasp whatsoever on the mercurial quality of Harlan's work. Who cast this? Every one of the new readers sound like they're in a different studio and no attempt to fix the sound quality of the current narrators. Even otherwise great narrators like Gardner and Ballerini and Graham are completely at sea with this type of writing; they seem more interested in sounding pretty than biting into Harlan's writing. Of course, Rudnicki and Fass get it on the mark, but all others fall painfully short. (BTW, where was Scott Brick? He's listed but never introduced.) Some narrators introduce themselves, others don't. No years given on each work to help us navigate (they are listed in the book.) Everyone knows Neil Gaiman narrates, so why didn't someone push and get him to narrate his foreword? Why didn't Straczynski narrate his intro? Why didn't Cassandra Khaw read hers (she's all over Youtube and has a very distinctive accent which the lady reader couldn't copy.) This is the day and age of super-curated audiobooks, and this one gets such casual treatment? I can't give it a lower star rating than a four because of Harlan's writing and Rudnicki and Fass' performances, but the production is not a tribute to the amazing writer that was Harlan Ellison. It saddens me as a fan.

Anxiety-Inducing
Most of the stories are good, though for someone who marched with Dr. King, it's remarkable how racist some of this is. I know he definitely wasn't, but some of the stuff just comes off as an open-minded guy in the 60s and 70s trying to write non-racist stories that come across whitewashed. The thing I absolutely couldn't handle is Ellison's narration of his own stories. I mean, they are HIS stories, so he obviously tells 'em like he writes them, but it's just...too much. I just wanted him to calm down a bit instead of the ceaseless yelling and rushing through passages. And the other narrators are just the opposite so that you almost miss Harlan's rea...and then you just say hell with the whole thing.
