He lives with his wife Susan, inside The Lost Aztec Temple of Mars, in Los Angeles.

"There have been only a few short story collections that have changed the course of literature in a profound way.... Shatterday is the heart of the heart of energy and insight that is Harlan Ellison.
-The Guardian "Fiction with a sharp, fantastic edge." -People "...one of the great living American short story writers." -George R. R. Martin "You have to read Shatterday, feel it, experience it.... It is an event." -Science Fiction Review "Shatterday should be banned from all science fiction shelves. Harlan Ellison no longer belongs there. Do Jonathan Swift, Edgar Allan Poe, Rimbaud, or Kafka? Occasionally, there's a writer with the mind, passion, and audacity to create a one-man revolution in his field. Harlan Ellison is such a writer." -Roger Corman "Saul Bellow, Philip Roth, Norman Mailer, stand aside: Harlan Ellison is a better short story writer than you will ever be again in the rest of your lives." -Ray Bradbury "Whatever the genre or blend of genres, Ellison delivers." -Publishers Weekly "One of the great living American short story writers." -Washington Post Book World "The categories are too small to describe Harlan Ellison. Lyric poet, satirist, explorer of old psychological corners, moralist, purveyor of pure horror and black comedy; he is all these and more." -San Francisco Chronicle "Speculative fiction without Harlan Ellison would be like the Fourth of July without fireworks." -Ursula K. Le Guin "It's long past time for Harlan Ellison to be awarded the title: 20th century Lewis Carroll." -Los Angeles Times "He is a brave and lively little beast, who makes a great show of himself to the hounds but remains far too wary to lead them to his real lair." -Michael Moorcock "Harlan Ellison's prose has a remarkable vitality. Adrenaline seems to drive him to the typewriter where, for our entertainment, he produces cracking and powerful tales." -Steve Allen "Harlan Ellison has a supersonic mind, and Shatterday is its flagship, a streak of literary light across a mythological sky." -William Kotzwinkle "Because Harlan Ellison pretends that he is just a nice guy who has dropped in to read you his latest tale, you drop your defenses and wham-you discover that he is a horror writer in disguise. Things do not go bump in Ellison's tales. That would be too easy. instead, his heroes crash into the night en route to final, fatal meetings." -Saturday Review "One of the few masters of the short story." -Locus "Ellison, that feisty, unreasonable, prevaricating, megalomaniacal, and revanchist monster...the quintessential SF short story writer..." -Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction |
