Product Description
Product Description
Mind Fields was originally conceived as a collection of Jacek Yerka's paintings, but when Harlan Ellison was approached to write the introduction, he was so overcome that instead he penned a short story for each piece. The result of this synergistic melding of talents, Mind Fields shows two masters at their best. Each of the nearly three dozen stories in this volume is completely unlike any of the others, and together they contain a rich panoply of pathos, humor, and wonder. Produced in a beautiful cloth edition worthy of the art within, Mind Fields is a unique item and a must for any Ellison fan.

Fantastic Surreal Art and Intelligent Prose., Jan 7 2008
By A reader - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Mind Fields: The Art Of Jacek Yerka, the Fiction Of Harlan Ellison (Hardcover)
Jacek Yerka and Harlan Ellison have contributed to create a surreal art anthologybased on the paintings of Yerka, and the short stories of Ellison.
This book will appeal to art collectors, futurists, appreciators of the Surrealist
school as seen by Giger, Magritte, Dali, and Whelan, and anyone who is curious
about Ellison's work as a novelist should begin with this purchase.
"Mind Fields" is also politicalized, and will upset some people, but, it is designed to.
Harlan Ellison has never shyed away from using his literary prowess to anger
his intended audience.
Fans of Neil Gaiman, Matt Wagner, William Gibson, William Sleator, and Garth Ennis will definitely enjoy the work presented here, and this work is truly original.

Creative and weird--my favorite!, Dec 31 2008
By Jackie Barton "Seriously Studious" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mind Fields: The Art Of Jacek Yerka, the Fiction Of Harlan Ellison (Hardcover)
It is not easy to find these gems in modern times. I love the intense and free creativity of both the art and fantasy writings in this book. Both Yerka and Ellison are brilliant minds. The images are incredible pieces of art that make us believe in magic again.The stories come from a brilliant, educated, aware and astonishingly gifted mind that can produce new and fantastic ideas in ways that few in our history have accomplished. Each piece of writing has a commentary by the author on the process and meaning of the story. It is a wonderful addition to my art and literature collections.
