Because My Tears Are Delicious To You
1967’s Dangerous Visions was the first volume in Harlan Ellison’s Dangerous Visions anthology series.
Ellison’s purpose in editing this anthology was to eschew hoary old taboos, celebrate the full potential of speculative fiction, and carve out a bit of the New Wave as his very own1. To this end, he recruited a small army of authors, purchased a huge number of words, and produced this hefty volume.
