The Deadly Streets
The Deadly Streets | Harlan Ellison
1 post | 2 read
Remember Charles Bronson stalking the streets of New York blowing holes in muggers in Death Wish? Remember Glenn Ford standing off the vicious juvenile delinquents in Blackboard Jungle? Well, it is more than fifty years and two different worlds from 1955 to now. And something the author of these stories knows that you are scared to admit is that reality and fantasy have flip-flopped. They have switched places. The stories that scare you today are the ones about rapists and thugs, psychos who will carve you for a dollar and hypes who will bust your head to get fixed. Glenn Ford’s world was yesterday, and Bronson’s is today. And in the stalking midnight of this book, one of America’s top writers, Harlan Ellison, invades the shadows of both!

The first collection of short stories from a future master writer. Tales of youth street gangs in New York. Brief and brutally violent, told mostly through dialogue, not as compelling as his soon to come cutting edge Sci-Fi, but an interesting look at the early steps of an icon.
