Some clunkers, some standouts. No one does bleak quite as well as Ellison

All of Harlan Ellison's collections are worth reading but each may have a story or two that will leave you cold.

A very mixed bag. Some stories that are as dark and disturbing as the intro lead me to expect, a couple that haven’t aged well, a couple that are melancholy and lyrical, and a couple that feel like filler. I don’t object to a shaggy dog story peppered with Yiddish about an eleven armed Jewish alien, but it isn’t really approaching oblivion.
