Synopsis
Alone Against Tomorrow is a collection of short stories by author Harlan Ellison. Published in the United States in 1971, as a ten year retrospective of Ellison's short stories, it includes some of his most famous work. It was later published in the UK in two volumes as All the Sounds of Fear in 1973 and The Time of the Eye in 1974. All of the stories in this collection center around isolation and alienation, and were selected from previous short story collections to fit this theme.
