Having recently read that piece on the group that solved an unsolved who an unknown suicide was, I'm curious if anyone ever found a record of his second bit. Quick search didn't find anything. Not that I think he's lying, just curious.

I was told about Ellison back in college, maybe 2001/2002, by a woman who worked the desk in the office I worked in. I think she lent me Dangerous Visions and then I slowly picked up most of his books.

As of late I was disappointed that he didn't do much in the way of new stuff, instead releasing compilations of his older works.

Having only read I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream, this isn't at all what I expected out of this. I'm going to read more of Ellison now.

I so loved that essay. I think it was in Stalking the Nightmare? My favorite was the story with the girl going nuts because he was standing on her mother's white carpet.

"Grail" is probably my favorite story from that collection.

Note to self: time to re-read!
