Reviews
"It's hard to fathom that one of the most illustrious speculative-fiction writing careers--in addition to  ten  Hugos, Ellison has won so many other awards that even he probably can't remember half of them--launched with this gangbanger tale in 1958. Ellison based the action on his own experiences in a Brooklyn gang. Along with  Web , the volume includes three related gang stories--"No Game for Children," "Stand Still and Die," and "No Way Out." More fodder for the argument that Ellison may have pioneered what we now call street lit. Classic cover art on this one, too. - Library Journal "Take a look at Web of the City, you will be glad you did." - Crimezine "Hard Case has done an amazing job repackaging Web of the City with three additional tales of violence and dread." - Bibliodiscoteque  "It's a great read itself and even more fascinating when looked upon in the context of Ellison's hugely influential career." - Ain't It Cool Holiday Gift Guide  , "It's hard to fathom that one of the most illustrious speculative-fiction writing careers-in addition to  ten  Hugos, Ellison has won so many other awards that even he probably can't remember half of them-launched with this gangbanger tale in 1958.

Synopsis
In Rusty Santoro's neighbourhood, the kids carry knives, chains, bricks. Broken glass. And when they fight, they fight dirty, leaving the streets littered with the bodies of the injured and the dead. Rusty wants out - but you can't just walk away from a New York street gang. And his decision may leave his family to pay a terrible price., "Get it straight right now: these aren't kids playing games of war. They mean business. They are junior-grade killers and public enemies one through five thousand..." In Rusty Santoro's neighborhood, the kids carry knives, chains, bricks. Broken glass. And when they fight, they fight dirty, leaving the streets littered with the bodies of the injured and the dead. Rusty wants out - but you can't just walk away from a New York street gang. And his decision may leave his family to pay a terrible price. First published more than half a century ago and inspired by the author's real-life experience going undercover inside a street gang, Web of the City was Harlan Ellison's first novel and marked the long-form debut of one of the most electrifying, unforgettable, and controversial voices of 20th century letters. Appearing here for the first time together with three thematically related short stories Ellison wrote for the pulp magazines of the 1950s, Web of the City offers both a snapshot of a lost era and a portrait of violence and grief as timely as today's most brutal headlines.

    DO NOT BUY! I purchased a blu ray set for around $100 from this seller and never received it. They agreed to resolve the issue with me and then ghosted and kept my money. I have messages and tracking but eBay and this seller won’t give me my item. Complete ripoff. DO NOT BUY!

    Made it after having to message and get eBay involved. Was later than promised. No message from seller until after the item finally arrived. The movie case is in ok condition and the dvd was floating around in the case and not clipped in. That could be due to shipping. It could have been packaged with a small piece of foam on top of dvd between it and case to help prevent this. I hate leaving a review that isn’t completely positive.
