“Love Story” was created by Gordon R. Dickson specifically for inclusion in The Last Dangerous Visions, meant to be the second sequel to Dangerous Visions, Harlan Ellison’s ground-breaking, sky-breaking, mind-breaking anthology of original stories. Dangerous Visions was originally published in 1967, and Gordon Dickson’s story was written in the middle of the following decade. Unfortunately, that third volume has never been published. But Mr. Ellison has generously returned the story to the Dickson estate, to allow it to be made available to readers at last.
The Dickson Estate, then, offers its gratitude to Harlan Ellison, and its sincere appreciation for his kindness.
