DESCRIPTION:
Three Stars Not one of his best collections, but dark enough. Eleven stories and a lousy introduction. John Peter O'connor A lot of people skip introductions to books which is just as well in the case of this one but the contents really do not need an introduction.The eleven stories here, first published between 1957 and 1969, can stand up and speak for themselves very well indeed. From the opening shot of the title story to the close with "A boy and his dog" the au. FinH said Uniquely dark and clever speculative fiction. Almost worth the price of purchase for the short story 'A Boy And His Dog' alone, although the rest of the content is of the same concentrated brand of visceral, spectacularly imaginative fiction.

It waited for our coming and it will abide long after we have become congealed smoke. When it sleeps we know a few moments of peace. It knows our fear. It beheaded mercy to take possession of that place. It feasts on darkness from the minds of men. It is the beast of our savage past, hungering today, and waiting patiently for the mortal meal of all our golden tomorrows. “It crouches near the center of creation. It lies waiting.” This fantastic short story collection features two of Ellison’s most famous, the Nebula Award winner “A Boy and His Dog” and the Hugo Award–winning short story that lends the collection its title. Only the riddle of which terrible dream will set it loose. It has our number. But when it breathes again we go down in fire and mate with jackals. No one has ever seen its eyeless face. These and the entire book will knock you off your feet.. It has never heard music, and shows its fangs when we panic. There is no night where it waits
