I enjoyed his work heavily since I'm into horror and sci-fi books. Any similar writers like him you could reccommend me?
>>23547560Absolutely based, love everything he did
>>23547560Based. He was friends with Gene Wolfe you should read him.
>>23547744Any in particular? "The Knight" looks like a good read from him.
>>23547758His magmum opus is BOTNS
>>23547762Thanks, anon. Will check it out!
>>23547560If I recall correctly his high school teacher said he could never be a writer, Ellison then proceeded to mail pictures and copies of every single literary award he won to said teacher until the teacher died
>>23547811What a loser. If I were that renowned and beloved world wide I wouldn’t be bothering with high school teachers.
>>23547821he generally seemed like an incredibly insecure dude, hence all the litigation, personal vendettas, getting into shouting matches over bullshit wherever he went etc etc. iirc he got bullied heavily as a kid for being tiny and jewish and he never got over it
>>23547821Hes a very spiteful person if you look into his biography, thats also shown in his works
Theodore Sturgeon, maybe?Also, check out the Dangerous Visions compilations.
>>23547560I wish more of his stuff was in print
>>23547560really annoying personality and his work isn't good enough to justify it.similar writers: ballard, Thomas disch, Barry malzberg
>>23547811Incredibly based if you asked me. If he was bullied all his life and still made something of himself of course he was going to remember the once person who told him that he would NEVER be a success. That shit weighs on you, man.>>23547949No need to inform me of Sturgeon I love killdozer>>23548013I've read revelations from Malz that was pretty kino. Holy shit I didn't know Disc wrote the brave little toaster. Any from Ballard you wanna recommend me for a first timer?
>>23547560Jew
