	Review of Harlan Ellison's Dangerous Visions
		Dangerous Visions, edited by Harlan Ellison, Signet, 1975, 514 pp.
		Dangerous Visions was the landmark anthology put together by Harlan Ellison with the express purpose of giving the new writing in science fiction a place of welcome.
		However, these last thirty years of science fiction owe a vast debt to Ellison and the contributors in Dangerous Visions, as the book was indeed part of a sea change in the genre.

	Amazon.ca: Dangerous Visions : The 35th Anniversary Edition: Books: Harlan Ellison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		There are some quite good stories in here, typically these stories are where the author didn't feel the need to try to be "edgy", or "dangerous" or "relevant" and let the pushing of the mores come from the story, not the other way around.
		This is Harlan Ellison's ground-breaking 60s SF anthology for which he invited writers to explore "dangerous" themes that were generally considered taboo at that time.
		These stories were indeed dangerous for their era, and most of them have proven to be well ahead of their time, retaining the power of expanding your literary horizons even today.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Dangerous Visions, 35th Anniversary Edition
		It's amusing, then, to note immediately upon re-encountering Dangerous Visions that some of the best stories in the volume were written not by radical New-Wavers, but by such mainstream SF stalwarts as Lester del Rey, Fritz Leiber, and Larry Niven.
		And since Dangerous Visions was successful and influential, the literary experimentation, sexual imagery, and graphic violence in some of the stories is not going to be experienced as new and shocking to someone reading them for the first time now.
		For Dangerous Visions was part of an attempted revolution in science fiction.

		Visions of mankind's future, conceived in the past, are back to shake up the present.
		Thirty-five years after Dangerous Visions was published, the multi-award-winning science-fiction anthology is back in print.
		The quality and content of the stories were paramount, Ellison says; he did not want any sociology lessons.

		The church's "larger vision is to create a living environment which is conducive to families-where crime is minimal, where youth have wholesome recreational alternatives, where parents can find jobs to sustain family life, and where neighborhoods possess the commercial establishments necessary for daily living."
		It is when we embrace a vision of the best we can imagine that our hopes and flaws combine to make us greater than we are.
		These are dangerous visions, because they require effort, and passion, and love.

		OBLIVION, THE BEAST THAT SHOUTED LOVE AT THE HEART OF THE WORLD, DANGEROUS VISIONS Harlan Ellison These books are all short story collections; the first three are by Ellison alone, while the latter is a magnificent collection, the first scream of the American new wave of the mid to late 1960s.
		Deathbird, Oblivion and Beast show the ferocious, precocious thunderer at the top of his form (Deathbird and Beast both contain Hugo Award-winning short stories), while Dangerous Visions (edited by Ellison and also containing more than its share of award-winning stories) is one of the best sci-fi anthologies of all time.
		Erickson's vision is bleak and violent, but there is surprising power and even beauty in his writing.

	Locus Online: F. Brett Cox reviews Redshift
		First, the historical moment from which Dangerous Visions emerged is, as Sarrantonio admits in his introduction, long past.
		It’s smoothly written but somewhat sentimental and melodramatic (e.g, the protagonist’s mother reluctantly divorces the frozen father but marries an abusive man who drives her to drink and, eventually, death in a drunk driving accident).
		Hand maintains a compelling narrative pace even as she allows herself to linger on the evocative details of Camden Town and Janie’s equally evocative (to say the least) sexual journeys, all the while never losing focus on either her main character or on the fantasy scenario at the heart of the story.

		It's striking how much overlap there is between the tendencies and behaviors our society attributes to the "seriously mentally ill" and the tendencies and behaviors that shamanic and mystical cultures view as prerequisite for someone to take on visionary roles.
		While medical authorities usually write off people's visions as mere delusions and recommend higher levels of medication, quite often the things we see and hear are evidence of a heightened sensitivity and of the thin skin that comes with madness.
		Like all the classic superheroes, our superpowers are dangerous gifts that intensify the struggle of our lives.

	Bradbury's dangerous, unforgettable visions - The Boston Globe
		When I was a child, many moons and a couple of fl holes ago, we had a screen porch where of an evening and most summer days I'd sit listening to cicadas trill or to the tap of rain's fingers on the roof, reading.
		Years after that screen porch was gone, writing my own first stories, I would turn to Bradbury's, to stories like ''The Wind" and ''The Pedestrian" and ''The Veldt," to try to figure out how he did it, where the magic came from, how it got there.
		With his visions of possible futures and edgy presents, he has shown us a way out of the trap of our selves, shown us how we can break the momentum of the past, of our habits and willful ignorance.

	Dangerous Visions: Cassandra of Cornwall
		And holy visions, it seemed, did not accrue to one during the daily drudgery of convent life, but in dark and desolate places, far from the distractions of worldly life.
		Thus it was that, on the evening in question, as on many evenings before, I slipped out through a small opening in the garden wall that I had discovered some time previous, and set forth on one of nocturnal journeys into the surrounding greenwood.
		Tales abounded of witches and other dark and dangerous things riding abroad on that night, but given that it was, despite the beliefs of the peasantry, the eve of a saint's day, I had no fear.

	Ellison / Dangerous Visions
		Until Dangerous Visions, science fiction anthologies tended to be thin, both in content and quality: second-rate tales from seldom-read authors, gathered more or less at random and slapped between cheap paper covers bearing lurid illustrations that had nothing to do with the content within.
		Moreover, he urged his contributors to stretch, to challenge their own abilities, to offer something cutting edge that might scare off editors of the more conventional science fiction magazines.
		At the time of its publication, Dangerous Visions truly was dangerous.

	Ellison / Again, Dangerous Visions
		By the early 1970s, the so-called "new wave" of written science fiction was well under way; what had seemed dangerous just four or five years earlier was now mainstream.
		A third volume in the series, The Last Dangerous Visions, has been promised at least since the second book appeared; Ellison's inability to complete the project despite passage of more than two decades has given rise to a minor scandal within the science fiction community.
		The hardcover first edition is not as sought-after as the original Dangerous Visions, but hard to find nonetheless.

		He has since reconciled somewhat with Hollywood by making The Fisher King (1991) which turned out to be a surprise commercial and critical success.

		That introduction motivated me to read the 33 authors selected to grace the first edition of Dangerous Visions.
		According to the introduction that Ellison did for each work, publishers had repeatedly rejected many of the stories — not because they were of poor quality, but because the subject matter was controversial, and therefore “dangerous.” In the ‘60s, there was much here that was provocative and memorable.
		In the decade following the original publication of Dangerous Visions, critics lauded the collection as “the most honored anthology of fantastic fiction ever published.” After numerous reprints, a sequel appeared: Again, Dangerous Visions.
