Product Description:
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.
Amazon.com Review:
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

The jacket flap sums up this book perfectly, 'Here are two big books in one volume. Each has the word "love" in the title. But don't let that get your hopes up. Yeah, these are stories that sing... but they also draw blood.' That's the core of this book, real love, not the pampered and idealistic stuff that preaches "love will conquer all." This is about love that hurts.
This volume is divided into two books, I prefer the second, with all stories on the different kinds of love. My ... Read More

I adore Ellison's works. However, I have most of them (more than the Columbus Metropolitan Library system) and do not like the fact that they are being reprinted 2 per volume. I would recommend this to anyone who already likes Ellison, but am unsure that it is good for a 1st intor to him.

This book is really two books in one (high-quality) volume.
SPIDER KISS (original title, "Rockabilly")is a very good novel about the rise and fall of the fictional rock star Stag Preston -a fictionalization of Jerry Lee Louis. It is a very well-written novel, lightyears away from the cookie-cutter sensational "where are they now" biographies of rock stars (fictional, real, or fictionalized.)
The second book, STALKING THE NIGHTMARE, is a collection of science fiction stories ... Read More

Not much to say. Harlan Ellison at his best. Hell, he's ALWAYS at his best. This book contain two Ellison classics that make you feel all gooey inside after reading 'em: "Spider Kiss" and "Stalking the Nightmare". " Spider Kiss" mainly concentrates on the career of a rock star from his beginnings to his horrible finish. "Stalking the Nightmare" is the not-so-average collection of killer short fiction and biting commentary. To all who have not read Ellison: Buy this book. Buy any book by Ellison. ... Read More

This fourth volume in White Wolf's reprint series includes two of Ellison's finest collections. The first, "Love Aint Nothing But Sex Misspelled," contains stories reflecting the angst and turmoil of the sixties. "The Resurgence of Miss Ankle-strap Wedgie," "Neither Your Jenny Nor Mine," "A Prayer For No Ones Enemy," and "Punky & the Yale Men" deal variously with icons, abortion, politics and racism. The second collection examines love and the various forms it takes: from the experimental title ... Read More
