🕑 Added 2023-01-23 14:00:06 +0000 UTC
This show goes over the short stories of Michael’s favorite speculative fiction author and notable curmudgeon Harlan Ellison. Each episode Michael pairs (read: forces a friend to read) a short story with a guest that it “applies especially to.” This episode it’s the short story On The Slab and the guest is Brooks Brown.

There is a pretty good philosophy book I read once called Do the Gods Wear Capes that I think would really add to your points at the end of this.

The Essential Ellison is available there, with a truly great afterword on page 1,015. You may have to search by title because their search engine is kind of crap, but I'm still very glad that they are doing what they are doing. I suggest donating. :)

You're my hero, I've been diving through ThriftBooks looking for Ellison stuff for the past few weeks.

"Words are the excuses we give our emotions." Wonderful, wide-ranging discussion sparking off from this story. I found Angry Candy and several other Ellison books on the Internet Archive. Go to openlibrary.org, it's free to sign up and check out digital books.
