Creator/HarlanEllison doesn't think small. The fact that the above quote -- the first paragraph of his original introduction to this book -- is, if anything, a major ''understatement'', says a helluva lot.

The book also features a forward by Creator/IsaacAsimov and introductions to each story by Ellison himself, who talks about the writer, and an afterword by each writer regarding the story. This gives the reader an immense feeling of the community surrounding science-fiction, and was part of why the anthology was so well-received. Illustrations by Leo and Diane Dillon accompany each story.

Creator/HarlanEllison doesn't think small. The fact that the above page-quote--the first paragraph of his original introduction to the book--is, if anything, an ''understatement'', says a helluva lot.

And not just ANY stories--he wanted stories that were, well, too ''dangerous'' to get printed anywhere else.
