A detailed history of Ellison’s massive, oft announced but never completed anthology The Last Dangerous Visions. This started as an essay in a fanzine called Deadloss in 1987. The first 1987 edition consisted of the essay plus letters from writers who had seen the first draft, and an appendix of notes. This was followed, in 1987, by an 8-page continuation titled The Truth Shall Make You Free. The second edition of The Last Deadloss Visions, also published in 1987 (between September and December), contained everything from the first edition, with minute corrections, plus the text of a diary Priest started to keep when the responses started pouring in. As the diary was being constantly updated copies were issued serially. Many different versions are in circulation, bearing different finishing dates. At the end of 1987 a “complete” third edition (everything from the first two editions brought up to date) was published. This was distributed steadily for five years; it was first released in January 1988, with the last copy mailed in 1992. In May 1994, Priest published this final version followed in June by a US edition entitled The Book on the Edge of Forever. |
