Strange Wine

Rating:
Summary: The King of 'Em All, Ya'll
Review: When the need is for writing that merges the visceral and the intellectual, that lets you dream and turns those dreams against you, and when you want to engulf yourself in one of Ellsion's two best collections (the other being Love Ain't Nothing But Sex Misspelled), then Strange Wine is the place to hang your mind.

If any collection proves that H.E.'s grasp exceeds the realm of science fiction, this is unquestionably that collection. His worlds expand into fantasies previously unimagined, and yet his plots are only the beginning. Ultimately, his skill in understanding the most secret needs of his readership--and giving it to them without a trace of smile--is the man's true genius. Quite simply, Strange Wine is literature of a high order, one of the great books of the post WWII era.
