 Short story that does exactly what it sets out to do: sit and make you think about yourself, humanity, and life as a whole.

5.0

The first time I ever read this book I was 14. Reading it again nearly a decade later, it’s still as gripping as it once was. I didn’t read it this time, I listened to the audiobook as read by Harlan Ellison himself and hearing how he reads it is wonderfully fascinating and fully drives the point home how warped and twisted the characters have become at the hands of AM. You feel the cruelty in every breathe, in every word he speaks. It’s so amazing what hearing an author narrate their work can do for that work. And especially when the work is as jaw droppingly well done as this one. Truly a masterpiece, 5/5.

It is a tale that is intriguing, strange, and hopeless. A story that is has the right amount of vagueness to feed into the imagination in the most horrible way. A defeat of humanity, but ending with a sad, small victory.
