Tales of love, sex, and relationships as only "one of the great . . . American short story writers" can tell them (The Washington Post Book World).   A one-night stand begins a tragic journey that consumes a man's soul in "Neither Your Jenny Nor Mine."   Afraid to interact with men who would condemn her as ugly, a young woman imagines herself living the love lives of every woman she sees until one daydream becomes a nightmare in "Mona at Her Windows."   On "A Path Through the Darkness," a man struggles to understand his attraction to a cruel, morbid woman.   Multi-award-winning author Harlan Ellison shatters the rose-colored glasses view of romance in these and other stories, coming to understand the elusive power of love about in terms of the primal passions and emotional onslaughts human beings engage.
