Another popular collection is Paingod: And Other Delusions. This book has another eight stories from Ellson including the title story, “Paingod”. In this story, a minor deity has the ob of bringing pain to life forms across the universe. This book also includes “Repent, Harlequin, Said the Ticktockman” which is one of Ellison’s most famous works.
