	Ellison / Mefisto in Onyx
		First published as a longish short story in Omni magazine, Mefisto in Onyx is one of Ellison's most acclaimed stories of recent years.
		A psychological thriller with several ingeious plot twists, the story involves a psychic who enters the mind of a serial killer through a process called "shriking," only to discover as much about himself as the man on death row.
		For some time, a film version of Mefisto starring Samuel L. Jackson was said to be in development.

		But recently I read "Mefisto In Onyx," available in Ellison's Slippage, and I was blown away.
		Ellison is an American original, an often unfairly maligned shit-disturber who demands that we think; that we get as angry as he does over the sheer stupidity and avarice and corruption of American politics and life.
		But Ellison is also one hell of a fiction writer and if you like speculative fiction, "Mefisto In Onyx" should please you.

	Mefisto in Onyx by Harlan Ellison
		Mefisto is a beautifully made small press book with cover art and an introduction by Frank Miller of Sin City, an insult to Tor Book's refusal to publish this story, as well as two pages listing the autor's other works, and an opening blurb that says "What is this book about?
		This jumbled thought applies to "Mefisto in Onyx" because he will have Harlan Ellison taking his turn at that old chestnut about the man on Death Row about to be executed who really may be innocent.
		I picked up Mefisto in Onyx out of curiousity, because I've only recently been introduced to Harlan Ellison, and had previously only read short stories.

		FantasticFiction > Authors E > Harlan Ellison > Mefisto in Onyx
		Ellison's in-your-face story about telepathy and a serial killer is his most substantial piece in years--though in length it barely qualifies as a novella.
		While this is well worth purchasing, note that a slightly shorter version of the story appeared in the October 1993 issue of Omni magazine.

	Slippage : Previously Uncollected, Precariously Poised Stories
		The award-winning novella "Mefisto in Onyx" is the centerpiece of an irreverent and wildly imaginative book that the San Diego Union-Tribune called "electrifying...Ellison is back, as unsettling as ever."
		The centerpiece of Slippage is the novella "Mefisto in Onyx." It is not only a well crafted story with too many twists to count, but it is a great commentary on race, gender, and human relations in general.
		The best example is the classic "Mefisto in Onyx" which adds the supernatural to a treatise on racial tension, and the "Nackles" stories which deal with the uncomfortable realities of child abuse in the guise of a Christmas fairy tale.

	ELLISON PROVES HE'S NOT SLIPPING
		The centerpiece of the collection is ``Mefisto in Onyx,'' an award-winning novella about an African-American telepath sent to probe the mind of a racist, vicious serial killer and driven with such a downpour of words that it conveys the sensation of reading the story aloud and becoming breathless as a result.
		It is a story of intrusion and manipulation, and perhaps its most disturbing aspect is the ending, which seems so happy and victorious after all the other alternatives, but is actually shockingly deceptive and manipulative.
		If ``Mefisto in Onyx'' dominates the collection in length and prestige, it shares equal billing with many other stories in quality.

	Slippage: Previously Uncollected, Precariously Poised Stories - PowerBookSearch!
		Ellison's ability to inject fantastic elements into otherwise grimly realistic situations is powerfully on display in ``Mefisto in Onyx,'' a gritty, terse, deeply disturbing novella about the encounter of a fl psychic and a white serial killer on death row.
		It's likely that the best of his tales, mingling fantasy and grim, angry realism in a distinctive mix, will be remembered for a long time to come.
		The ever-provocative Ellison is at the top of his form in these 21 stories and essays, dynamiting fault lines where the fantastic erupts into the everyday and jolting interfaces between the mythic and the mundane.

		And as if "Mefisto" wasn't enough of a cerebral rush, the reader is treated to one of Ellison's trademark deity dramas, the beautiful, painfully poetic, "Scartaris, June 28th." There is something here for every reader.
		The adventurous, "Museum On Cyclops Avenue," and the perfectly haunting horror story, "She's A Young Thing And Cannot Leave Her Mother," the kind of horror story 95% of writers attempt but seldom pull off successfully.
		With stories like "Mephisto in Onyx", and "The Man who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore", he paints a bleaker, meaner picture of human nature, and he manages to very nicely to both entertain, as well as provoke.

		“Mefisto in Onyx.” Another telepath, this time human, reluctantly enters the mind of a serial killer.
		As Ellison recounts in this interview segment, “Onyx” had been optioned as a movie starring Samuel L. Jackson as the lead, but the producers fucked themselves right out of it -- probably for the best.
		They also want to be able to give you their “input.” There was a film company that had an option on one of my books [“Mefisto in Onyx”], and they dicked around with it for a year or two.

		Having read the SLIPPAGE edition and imagined the scenes myself, the story came together for me. It was good read, as was "Mefisto in Onyx." I'd read them both for the energy in the writing---that's what carries you along.
		I'm presently reading "Meisto in Onyx" for the 3rd or 4th time since it was first pulbished several years ago, and I'm loving it---there's a flow to it that pulls you along for the ride.
		The pseudo-reviewer is someone who goes by the name of Thomas Myer and claims to be a technical writer (age 26), although if he has as difficult a time getting to the point in his tech writings as he does in the "review," I'd bet there are a lot of confused computer/net users out there.

		There is a real richness in this story although a rougher texture than I personally prefer, but maybe it was just too close a look at human nature - the one night stand, the graphic crimes, the real feelings, etc.
		I'm still wondering about mefisto versus mephisto, but since I'm an engineer, the greater literary knowledge of the world may be beyond my grasp - probably has nothing to do with Silver Surfer #3.

		The cover is wrap-around fl and white artwork that is unmistakably Miller.
		As a matter of fact, a friend of mine, upon spotting Mefisto In Onyx propped up on my bookshelf, asked if it was a present gift-wrapped in Sin City wrapping paper.
		This compelling thriller by Ellison also contains an insightful Introduction by Frank Miller, who gives a frightening account of his experience addressing the inmates in a prison in Delaware.
