Dangerous Visions (editor)

What is Dangerous Visions (editor) about?

Thirty-three original stories commissioned on a single brief: write the thing no magazine would print. Ellison's anthology — with Lester del Rey on God, Philip José Farmer on riders of the purple wage, Delany on the holy foreskin of a dead spacer, and Dick, Niven, Sturgeon and Aldiss between — detonated American SF's remaining taboos in one volume, with the editor's carnival-barker introductions stitching it together. It won special citations, multiple individual awards, and a sequel (Again, Dangerous Visions); the legendarily unpublished third volume became the field's longest-running ghost story until its posthumous 2024 appearance.
