Slippage is a collection of short stories by American author Harlan Ellison. In the introduction, Ellison introduces the concept of "slippage", or the falling apart of one's life, as the underlying theme of the book. In addition to the stories listed in the table of contents, the book includes a short narration of an unhealthy relationship with a woman named Charlotte as an example of a "slippage" in the author's life. Charlotte was the name of Ellison's first wife; they were married from 1956 to 1960. Several of the stories in Slippage won awards. "The Man Who Rowed Christopher Columbus Ashore" was selected for inclusion in the 1993 edition of The Best American Short Stories. "Chatting With Anubis" won the Bram Stoker Award for best short story in 1995. The collection as a whole won a Locus Award for Best Collection in 1998. Mefisto in Onyx had previously appeared as an award-winning novella with cover art by Frank Miller. It won the Bram Stoker Award in 1993 and the Locus Pool Award in 1994 for best Novella in each respective year. Slippage includes the screenplay for "Crazy as a Soup Sandwich", which originally aired as an episode of The Twilight Zone in 1989.
