Coffee and science fiction (and sometimes homemade treats)! Who could resist? On Saturday, October 11, 10:30 A.M., the Octavia Books Science Fiction Book Club will gather to discuss DANGEROUS VISIONS, a colletion of science fiction stories edited by Harlan Ellison. (The Science Fiction Book Club meets the second Saturday of every month at 10:30 A.M)
"One of the most influential anthologies of all time returns to print, as relevant now as when it was first published. Anthologies seldom make history, but Harlan Ellison's 1967 collection of science fiction stories is a grand exception. Along with Moorcock's NEW WORLDS, it defined the New Wave movement. DANGEROUS VISIONS set an almost impossibly high standard, as more than a half dozen of its stories won major awards-not surprising with a contributors list that reads like a who's who of 20th-century SF."
