The Unquiet Dreamer
(2019)A Tribute to Harlan Ellison
An anthology of stories edited by Preston Grassmann
ABOUT THIS BOOK It was sometime in the mid-nineties at Dangerous Visions Bookstore in Sherman Oaks, when a seismic shift altered the foundations of the room. It wasn t the Northridge quake, but it was certainly a force of nature in walked Harlan.
I had told him my dream of putting together an anthology someday, with a table of contents that included some of the very writers in this book. That s a pretty nifty list, Harlan said. Do it, kiddo.
As the years passed, I went on to write for Nature Magazine and became a contributing editor at Locus, and the dream kind of fell by the wayside, but Harlan never let me forget. And though I wish Harlan could see it, the dream is finally here a book full of memories and love thirty-three international contributors who have joined together to celebrate his life. It s strong and strange in ways I never expected, full of inspired ideas, anecdotes and stories of Harlan. Of course, to include everyone influenced by Harlan and the work he celebrated would more than fill The Lost Aztec Temple of Mars.
I m proud to announce the final table of contents for THE UNQUIET DREAMER: A TRIBUTE TO HARLAN ELLISON. Preston Grassmann
