Harlan Ellison's The city on the edge of forever: the original teleplay that became the classic Star trek episode

Ellison, Harlan
White Wolf Publishing presents, for the first time in unlimited edition trade paperback, the unrevised, unadulterated version of Harlan Ellison's award-winning Star Trek script, The City on the Edge of Forever - the spark that incited Ellison's vehement and long-lived feud with late TV producer Gene Roddenberry! The City on the Edge of Forever is, at its most basic, a poignant love story. Ellison takes the reader on a breathtaking trip through space and time, from the future, all the way back to 1930s America. In this harrowing journey, Kirk and Spock race to apprehend a renegade criminal and restore the order of the universe. It is here that Kirk faces his ultimate dilemma: a choice between the universe - or his one true love. White Wolf's Borealis Legends imprint makes available this astonishing teleplay as Ellison intended it to be aired. The author's introductory essay (expanded by 15,000 words from the limited edition) reveals all of the details of what Ellison describes as a "fatally inept treatment" of his creative work. Was he unjustly edited, unjustly accused, and unjustly treated?

Love Ain't Nothing But Sex Misspelled

Ellison, Harlan
Love has 10,000 names, a million faces. America's most destructive contribution to 20th century living has been that damaged product plastic romance. It twists & savages us. After a lifetime of lies about what love's supposed to be, are you finally angry & depressed enough to be part of a recall on that shabby, mildewed merchandise? If so, join Ellison as he dissects the soul & body of love in our time. In 16 scalpel-sharp stories ranging from legalized Nevada whorehouses to steaming Georgian lynch towns, from Tijuana abortion mills to Hollywood sound stages, the one whom Oui magazine charmingly named "the perpetually angry young punk of the bizarre" rips the Saran-Wrap off love, hate, sin & twittering passion--to disclose the raw meat beneath. Here are 16 poisoned arrows from fantasy's improbable Cupid in which he presents a world of hearts & flowers guaranteed to revise thinking about where love's found & how it looks.New Having an Affair with a Troll (1976) essayIntroduction to 1st Edition (1976) essayNeither Your Jenny nor Mine (1964) storyThe Universe of Robert Blake (1962) storyG.B.K.-A Many-flavored Bird (1962) story Riding the Dark Train Out (1961) A True Memoir (1972) essayThe Resurgence of Miss Ankle-strap Wedgie (1968) novellaDaniel White for the Greater Good (1961) storyBlind Bird, Blind Bird, Go Away from Me!
