Book Reviews of Deathbird Stories
Book Review: Some of the best writing by Harlan Ellison
Summary: 5 Stars
I suspect that most of these stories are already in The Essential Ellison: A 50 Year Retrospective (Revised and Expanded) and that renders this collection obsolete. Could be why it's out of print. I had a copy and I read it so many times. Then I gave it to a friend that I never talk to anymore. Be that a lesson for you. It was signed too.
But from the first story, a meditation on Kitty Genovese and the urban habit of just watching violence without doing anything, to the last one "Deathbird" which works the same theme as His Dark Materials Trilogy (The Golden Compass; The Subtle Knife; The Amber Spyglass) (His Dark Materials) but more effectively, there's not a story in this collection that I felt wasted my time. This is rare as many Harlan Ellison collections mix the brilliant with the clunkers.
If you can buy a copy, buy a copy. It's well worth the price.
