Summary

Tommy has a hard time making friends. All of his schoolmates think he’s a weirdo. And his best friend in the whole world just moved away at the beginning of the school year. And to make matters worse, it’s Spring Break in Homestead, Florida. Instead of going on a family camping trip to the mountains of North Carolina, twelve-year-old Tommy Higgins will have to spend the week at work with his Marine Biologist Mom and Park Ranger Dad in Everglades National Park.

As much as Tommy loves the park, he is not looking forward to a week of chores at the Long Pine Key campground. However, Tommy has a change of heart when he meets some new friends who are staying at the campground. But when things start to look up, items go missing around the campground, and Tommy and his friends soon find themselves on the trail of the thief, the target of a group of campground bullies known as The Rough Bunch.

    The Puffs are created from the gift of the universe to me putting them down on paper. They are characters acting out a play, performing for me as I write. The Puffs live in a village called the Sky Puff Village and you can only see them during the day. I have created many stories on these characters, their village, and other villages that interact with them. Watch throughout the day and you may see a Puff or two performing for you.

    Is there anything more terrifying than waiting for an enemy you’ve never seen—and might never face? That’s the lonely fate of Charles Ferreno, a man exiled to a lifeless asteroid out on the edge of the galaxy. For twenty-four years he has lived without companionship, without purpose, without even the comfort of knowing whether the threat he guards against is real. His only company is the constant hum of scanners, the weight of silence, and the gnawing fear that if the alarm ever sounds, he will already be too broken to matter. Yellow Streak Hero is Harlan Ellison at his unflinching best: psychological, claustrophobic, and brutally honest about what isolation does to the human mind. 
Ferreno isn’t just stationed in the void—he’s slowly becoming part of it. He has gone through every phase: rage, madness, despair, numbness, and now a fragile balance built on routine and fastidious control. He cleans obsessively. He recites books from memory until the words lose meaning. He talks to himself so he won’t forget how speech works. He has forgotten what a woman’s voice sounds like. He remembers the day they took him—young, in love, full of life—and dropped him into a metal shell, sealing the door behind him. And now, when the scanners finally detect something—something vast, something approaching—Ferreno must confront the truth about why he was chosen… and whether anyone ever expected him to survive. 
Yellow Streak Hero was first published in Amazing Stories in 1957, during the early, explosive years of Harlan Ellison’s career.
