After his first two novels in the 1950s, Ellison switched almost exclusively to short stories. Jones took over the writing chores and produced and directed the Hugo Award-winning film.In the late 1970s, NBC took an interest in the movie's ongoing success, and Ellison was commissioned to create a two-hour pilot film, a sequel to the story of Vic and Blood seen on the big screen. A short novel, yes, but nonetheless one of the only novels by this talented short story writer. My biggest complaint about HARLAN ELLISONS WATCHING That there isnt enough of it Alas, a debilitating 2014 stroke has rendered Ellison unable to move about.
