Strange Wine is a 1978 short story collection by American writer Harlan Ellison. It contains the following stories (as well as Ellison's own introduction for each tale):

  • "Introduction: Revealed at Last! What Killed the Dinosaurs! And You Don't Look So Terrific Yourself"
  • "Croatoan"
  • "Working With the Little People"
  • "Killing Bernstein"
  • "Mom"
  • "In Fear of K"
  • "Hitler Painted Roses"
  • "The Wine Has Been Left Open Too Long and the Memory Has Gone Flat"
  • "From A to Z, in the Chocolate Alphabet"
  • "Lonely Women are the Vessels of Time"
  • "Emissary from Hamelin"
  • "The New York Review of Bird"
  • "Seeing"
  • "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams"
  • "Strange Wine"
  • "The Diagnosis of Dr. D'arqueAngel"

    • Famously, Ellison wrote "Strange Wine" while sitting in the window of Santa Monica-area science fiction bookstore, A Change of Hobbit.

    Stephen King considered this one of the best horror fiction books published between 1950 and 1980 in his 1981 non-fiction book about the horror genre, Danse Macabre, specifically reviewing the stories "Croatoan", "Hitler Painted Roses", "Lonely Women are the Vessels of Time", "Emissary from Hamelin" and "From A to Z, in the Chocolate Alphabet".
