Why read it?
1 author picked I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
When I think of the ultimate, inescapable trap, I think of Harlan Ellison’s I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream.
To me, the terror is not only unbearable, it’s unchangeable. Of all these worlds, this may be the one most devoid of hope. With no possibility of relief and no chance of escape. There is, in fact, no place to escape to.

From Barry's list on terrifying novels you can’t escape from.
