    A must have!

    Of the contents, what I can I say that someone else hasn't in the 40+ years since this classic was published? This is some of the finest short fiction of any genre ever collected.

    That makes it a must have is the current price. Less than $5? Sold! Get it now, don't even wait 'til later today!

    A must read for fans of speculative fiction

    This book is amazing. 33 short stories in Speculative Fiction by 32 different writers. When Ellison began to compile this, his purpose was to publish a book that was exactly what the title says it is; Dangerous Visions.

    The writers sometimes wrote stories that they had wanted to write for years but knew that no one would publish. Sometimes, they dug up old stories that had been rejected by every publisher around. Every one of these stories is designed to make you question your beliefs and what you know to be right. This book covers everything from God and Religion, to homosexuality, to incest, to murder, sanity and insanity, life and death, and fate and many, many more. I will definitely read this again at some point.

    Ellison writes an introduction for each story, and the writer of the story writes an "Afterword" where they get to explain what their intent was for the story, or how the story came about.

    Acceptable hit to miss ratio

    About a quarter of the stories are badly dated. The rest hold up well not a bad hit to miss ratio for any anthology.
