The All-Singing, All Dancing, Extremely Entertaining Audio Ellison#5:Having recently purchased -- and seriously enjoyed the hell out of -- Vol. 4 & vol. 5 of Ellison's "The Voice From the Edge" series of Audio book/story & essay collections, I was moved to listen to the first three volumes (purchased as each one came out, earlier this century).From the moment Ellison's gravely, inflection-filled -- sound-effects and accent-capable -- voice begins narrating "Delusion for a Dragon Slayer", readers will know they are in the hands of a master storyteller. That adjective -- storyteller -- is too often misused. It should be saved ONLY for stories actually TOLD -- or READ -- by someone. And as those who have been purchasing his fine, small imprint, recordings for decades already know, Ellison is top-notch. And these Voice From the Edge books (all now published by Audible) are as good as it gets when it comes to audio books, and the quality of readers (Vol.s 1-3 are ALL narrated by Ellison: Vol. 4 and Vol. 5 contain the work of other narrators, but they, too, are equally adept). "Delusion..", like most Ellison stories, starts with a bang, as the protagonist is killed in the first few pages -- only to be knocked into several alternative universes (or are they afterlives?). When Ellison says "you have to earn your dreams", it rings doubly true knowing the author himself has done that many times over. The guest narrators do a bang-up job with stories like "Shatterday" (in fact, the English narrator actually _sounds_ a little like Bruce Willis -- who played the Novins character in a teleplay version on the 1980s "reboot" of "The Twilight Zone"), "Basilisk" (an antiwar story), "Adrift Just Off the Islets of Langerhans...
