Came for this. I once talked with Harlan Ellison. He called my house when I was 17. At 2am. This was in the days of sharing a phone via a 30ft cord and taking it into your bedroom and closing the door. As teenagers would do. Martin H Greenberg and his family were staying at our house. He was calling for Martin. I was big into SciFi and had read a few of his books. The conversation was odd. I said Martin was asleep and asked who he was. Everything after hearing his name was sort of a blur. Yes, I did wake Martin and hand him the phone. It was hard to sleep after that.
