Five Fates (1970) is a science fiction anthology that brings together five novellas by Poul Anderson, Gordon R. Dickson, Harlan Ellison, Frank Herbert, and Keith Laumer, all developed from a shared narrative premise. Each story begins with a man named William Bailey entering a euthanasia center and receiving a lethal injection, after which the authors diverge dramatically in their interpretations of what follows. The resulting collection ranges from Herbert’s locked-room mystery “Murder Will In” to explorations of body transfer, parallel universes, and metaphysical survival, demonstrating how a single narrative seed can generate strikingly different speculative and philosophical outcomes.
