Read this because of a trivia question, and found Ellison’s style very strange. Sci-fi, yet poetic, and with a lot of 2D female characters. It was okay. I liked the titular story and only read the rest to appease my inner completionist.

A shitty book, but interesting to think about. This guy must've felt like he did something amazing and revolutionary when writing these stories. It's a product of it's time (be aware!) Nothing truly is disturbing. I kinda felt myself connecting with AM more than anyone else. Yea, there's way more better sci-fi stories out there with actual thought-provoking subjects and complex view points.

Dark and challenging - it leaves an unsettling feeling in the pit of your stomach. I can't recommend it more! A great horror short story that I am excited to try out the video game adaptation.

I’m sure that when Ellison wrote these, they were probably near the cutting edge of science fiction. Now, they seem to be rehashes of Twilight Zone or Black Mirror episodes, with a hint of fantasy or drug-induced hallucination to round them out. It’s not that it’s not good, it’s just that ‘we’ve seen this one.’
