Association, five times (including the Lifetime Achievement Award
in 1996); the Edgar Allan Poe Award of the Mystery Writers of

Zone episode that was Danny Kaye’s final role, in 1987. In 2006,
Ellison was awarded the prestigious title of Grand Master by the
Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. Dreams with Sharp
Teeth, the documentary chronicling his life and works, was released
