Synopsis
Paingod and Other Delusions is a collection of short stories by author Harlan Ellison. It was originally published in 1965. Pyramid Books released the collection in 1975, after two previous printings by other publishers. It contains two introductions and eight stories. The general theme that runs through each of these stories (in some way) is the rejection of the establishment and the fight of the individual against a corrupt authority.
