Stalking the Nightmare (Harlan Ellison, Phantasia Press; 1982)

With a foreword by Stephen King: Provocative and entertaining pieces from the multiple award-winning author. (2014 edition)

Pure, hundred‑proof distillation of Ellison. A righteous verbal high. Here you will find twenty of his very best stories and essays, including the four‑part ‘Scenes from the Real World,” an anecdotal history of the doomed TV series, The Starlost, that he created for NBC; “Tales from the Mountains of Madness”; and his hilariously brutal reportage on the three most important things in life, sex, violence, and labor relations. With an absolutely killer foreword by Stephen King. (amazon) (kindle 2019-11-22)
