Another double dose of Harlan Ellison's best--for aficionados and latecomers alike. Opening with a new Introduction, written for especially for this omnibus by the master essayist himself, this enormous volume presents Spider Kiss, a gritty, rockabillly novel, and Stalking the Nightmare, a collection of 20 of Ellison's best stories and essays.

The Edgeworks are designed as the projected 20-volume definitive version of this controversial author's collected works. Harlan Ellison is the most honored fantasist of the 20th century, and many of the books in the long-awaited series have been out of print for decades. Each volume also contains new introductions, and often the original work itself has been revised or expanded by the author. Edgeworks 2 includes an early (1961) novel Spider Kiss, originally titled Rockabilly. It was one of the very first--and still remains one of the best--dissections of the wildly destructive rock & roll lifestyle. Stalking the Nightmare is a 1982 collection of assorted short stories and essays, which also boasts an insightful foreword by Ellison admirer Stephen King. Sampling any part of Edgeworks 2 will give readers a taste of this great writer's talent. --Stanley Wiater
This second installation in a proposed 20-volume series of definitive editions of Ellison's works contains the full text of the 1961 novel Spider Kiss and the 1982 short story collection Stalking the Nightmare. You can never go wrong with Ellison.
