Specter! Book

Slippage is another great Harlan Ellison volume of short stories. It includes the great novella, Mefisto in Onyx, The Man Who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore, Anywhere but here, With Anyone But You, and Jane Doe 112.
I like his nearly running theme of an entity that has many forms, living hundreds of years and watching what we do. And how good is the Mark Twain thing?
She's a Young Thing and Can't Leave Her Mother, is as Harlan once said, about his wife Susan. It was nothing that I expected! It turned into a Jack Ketchum novel!
He also more or less predicts the movie Taken.
Suffice it to say, Harlan should be read and savored by us all.
