Perhaps the only information we are ever likely to have on Ellison's long-promised third Dangerous Visions anthology. Well researched, Priest clearly lays out why we will never see this book in print anywhere. Note: this is not the first time Harlan has promised more than he could deliver, and then refused to acknowledge his failure. It takes nothing from Ellison's accomplishments to state that sometimes, he over-reaches his ability. ( )

A scathing appraisal of Harlan Ellison's failure to finish the third Dangerous Visions anthology. Having spoken to a hot young writer who sold him a story for the book as late as 1988, and having seen his temper tantrum when NESFA dared to publish (in 1993!) a previously unseen Cordwainer Smith story originally intended for TLDV, I consider Priest's analysis quite fair. Anyone interested in science fiction or Harlan Ellison should read it. I say these things as someone who greatly admires Ellison's body of work but is no longer willing to apologize for his bad behavior. ( )
