Those Sexy Vintage Sleaze Books: "Word has it that Harlan Ellison has agreed to reprint his Paul Merchant Nightstand Sex Gang with a new title, Pulling a Train, containing new stories. The publisher is the new Kicks Books, from underground music zine Kicks Magazine, also a vintage record label, Norton Records, that reissues and produces new groovy, 50s-style retro bachelor pad garage tunes and co-run by vintage-collector, ex-Cramps drummer, Miriam Linna.
Kicks is also publishing a collection of “science fiction” poetry by Sun Ra. How cool is that? The line has a vintage look based on Signet and Avon books of the salad days."

Is that the guy who likes to sue everyone and is still pissed off about Star Trek?
Well, he sues some people who seem to be rewriting his stories and scripts and granting no credit and seeking no permission. He's also one of the guys who helped save STAR TREK when NBC was going to cancel it in the first season.
And he's the man who wrote "The Deathbird" and a slew of other brilliant stories and many more good ones, a couple of impressive novels, and some of the better critical essays I've read.
Wasn't Shakespeare that guy who copied everyone's stories in his plays and wrote a bunch of poetry which didn't quite rhyme? Wasn't Spillane that guy who wrote filler stories in comic books?
Yeah, that guy.
