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 fourth volume in the publisher's ongoing Ellison series contains two of the author's best short story collections?and that's saying something! The stories include Riding the Dark Train Out, Asleep: With Still Hands, Are You Listening?, The Beast That Shouted Love..., Shattered Like a Glass Goblin, and one of his absolute finest, A Boy and His Dog. Though generally identified with sf, many of Ellison's stories transcend that genre and can be enjoyed by all.
