Ellison was a brilliant and wonderfully crusty bastard. I think I first encountered him when I checked out one of his collections from the library, Death Bird Stories, when I as nine or ten.

Blew My Fucking Mind. I think at that point I was reading Xanth stories.

I didn't know people wrote like that, that writing like that existed; facing humanities' fears and doubts and horrors and dreams with brutally honest, direct, and unflinching stories, skillfully and beautifully told.

Nikan, this Watching series is a fantastic find! I'm loving it. "She had a voice like a seagull getting an enema, she really couldn't sing, but people loved to come to her concerts..."

Farewell to the beast who shouted "fuck you all" at the heart of the world.
