Summary
In a post-apocalyptic future, 15-year-old Vic wanders the wasteland with Blood, his genetically-altered telepathic dog, in a struggle for survival against violent marauders, deadly radioactive insects, and an underground community desperate to restore the human race in the Hugo Award-nominated and Nebula Award-winning novella, A Boy and His Dog - the basis of the cult classic film.
An intergalactic conspiracy infects the minds of the most powerful politicians in the Republican Party - and only one jolly old elf can save them in “Santa Claus vs. S.P.I.D.E.R.”
And in the Hugo Award-winning title story, disparate threads of violence, conflict, and conversation weave an intricate tapestry across worlds and times in an experimental tour-de-force of the imagination.
This groundbreaking collection brings together some of Harlan Ellison’s most innovative and intriguing stories, frightening and funny visions of human nature that can only come from the peerless Grand Master of Science Fiction.

Kinky tales with some real gems
The New Wave sci-fi can be weird and not quite straightforward, but that's what we like it for. Ellison is interesting, and the collection contains some great stories, but also some I do not like (being underdone, too political/leftist, or too perverse for my taste). In fact there are TWO collections: the second one is called Approaching Oblivion and follows A Boy And His Dog directly (unfortunately no section markup there, but it's still a good deal to get two collections as one). Plus a bonus story told by the author. I'm glad I bought it.

Great collection, well narrated.
Excellent collection of stories.
Well narrated.
Actually two collections of shortstories.
The second collection is not broken down into to chapters/stories.
Really annoying when trying to navigate a book of multiple short stories.
