Honorable Whoredom at a Penny a Word

Honorable Whoredom at a Penny a Word

Rediscover the Early Ellison. This collection restores to print fifteen never-collected tales from the first dozen years of his career. Hard-hitting crime stories like â‚¬Å“Thrill Kill,â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“Girl at Gunpoint,â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“Kill Joy,â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“Knife/Deathâ‚¬Â and â‚¬Å“Burn My Killers!â‚¬Â share the table of contents with stories of betrayal, including â‚¬Å“Death Climb,â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“Riff,â‚¬Â â‚¬Å“Macâ‚¬s Girl,â‚¬Â and â‚¬Å“The Honor in the Dying.â‚¬Â And, together for the first time, Ellisonâ‚¬s three detective stories featuring insurance investigator Jerry Killian. Toss in the solo outing of a diminutive private dick named Big John Novak (of whom Ellison expected to write much more, but never did) and a sexy Western called â‚¬Å“Saddle Trampâ‚¬Â and youâ‚¬ve got quite an assemblage of tales from the seamier side of life. All that, plus â‚¬Å“The Final Movement,â‚¬Â a never-before-published story from the mid-1950s. Better than a poke in the eye with a white-hot bone of Amenhotep, I think youâ‚¬ll agree.
