"Short stories range from mediocre to pretty good. If Harlan Ellison wants to get out of the "ghetto" of Sci-Fi writers, he needs to write stories that are more than interesting ideas."
"I quite enjoyed this death-themed collection, in particular the opening story, "Paladin of the Lost Hour", "Laugh Track" (which I found quite funny) and "Eidolons"."
"Read for a college course on SF & horror lit. Ellison wrote the stories as a reaction to the deaths of too many friends. The best of the bunch is "Broken Glass," a story about a woman whose darkest sexual fantasies are invaded by a telepathic sort of rapist. She fights back, but loses an important piece of herself in the process."
