MERCHANT, PAUL (HARLAN ELLISON) - Sex Gang Violent Stories of Naked Passions

Milwaukee, WI: Nightstand Books, 1959. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Paperback. Mass Market PB. This is a mass market paperback book. (PBO) (book number NB 1503 aSn) The book is in Very Good- condition and was issued without a dust jacket. There is some light bumping and wear to the spine ends and corners of the book covers. The top front corner of the book cover has a crease, and there is some generalized spots of rubbing to both front and rear covers. The text pages are clean, but have generalized light toning. "For those of you who don’t know publishing history, for a long time in the 1960s and early 1970s, soft-core porn was written and sold by the millions outside of the normal book channels. By todays standards, these books would not even be considered hot romance, let alone erotica. But they were out front in their day. Harlan Ellison went to work for one company in Chicago as the editor after the big distribution collapse of 1959. And he hired a lot of his friends to write the books. Robert Silverberg, Lawrence Block, Donald Westlake, Barry Malzberg, Ed Wood, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and so on. And Harlan wrote one of them, actually a collection of linked short stories. Just one, while Silverberg, under many pen names, wrote over 200. No idea how many Lawrence Block or Donald Westlake wrote, but more than Silverberg. Block is actually republishing some of them now under his own name." (from Dean Wesley Smith's blog). Very Good- .
