== Sequels == The collection was followed by a larger 1972 sequel, ''[[Again, Dangerous Visions]]''. The projected third collection, ''[[The Last Dangerous Visions]]'', was started, but controversially remained unpublished for decades. The final book has become something of a legend as science fiction's most famous unpublished book. It was originally announced for publication in 1973, but other work demanded Ellison's attention and the anthology did not see print in his lifetime. He came under criticism for his treatment of some writers who submitted their stories to him, whom some{{who?|date=February 2022}} estimate to number nearly 150 (and many of whom have died in the ensuing more than four decades since the anthology was first announced). In 1993 Ellison threatened to sue [[New England Science Fiction Association]] (NESFA) for publishing "Himself in Anachron", a short story written by [[Cordwainer Smith]] and sold to Ellison for the book by his widow,<ref>{{cite journal| url=http://news.ansible.co.uk/a76.html| journal=Ansible| title=ConFrancisco Continued| issn=0265-9816| volume=76|date=November 1993}}</ref> but later reached an amicable settlement.<ref>{{cite journal| journal=Ansible| title=Infinitely Improbable| volume=77| url=http://news.ansible.co.uk/a77.html|date=December 1993| issn=0265-9816}}</ref> British SF author [[Christopher Priest (novelist)|Christopher Priest]] critiqued Ellison's editorial practices in a widely disseminated article titled "[[The Book on the Edge of Forever]]".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://eu.than.asia/2009/10/the-last-deadloss-visions |title=The Last Deadloss Visions |access-date=2006-03-11 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150531020026/http://eu.than.asia/2009/10/the-last-deadloss-visions/ |archive-date=May 31, 2015 }}</ref> Priest documented a half-dozen instances in which Ellison promised ''TLDV'' would appear within a year of the statement, but did not fulfill those promises. Ellison had a record of fulfilling obligations in other instances, including to writers whose stories he solicited, and expressed outrage at other editors who have displayed poor practices. On May 2, 2022, [[J. Michael Straczynski]], the executor of the Ellison estate, announced on Twitter<ref>{{cite web|url=https://twitter.com/straczynski/status/1521237044294414337 | title=Twitter}}</ref> that ''The Last Dangerous Visions'' would be published in 2023 by Blackstone Publishers. On Mar 25, 2024, Straczynski announced on Facebook that ''The Last Dangerous Visions'' would be available from Amazon on Oct. 1, 2024.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CWPLX12S?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details|title=Amazon.com|website=Amazon }}</ref>
