Virtually every page has been finessed by the author.”Mefisto in Onyx”—The Bram Stoker Award-winning novel of a telepath who’s asked by his best friend to journey into the mind of a serial killer on death row.”All the Lies That Are My Life”—Ellison’s novella about a world-famous writer who overshadows his best friend from beyond the grave.”The Resurgence of Miss Ankle-Strap Wedgie”—A Veronica Lake-inspired tale of a rediscovered silver-screen star’s brutal return to Hollywood.

A new introduction by Emmy-nominated tv writer Ronald D. Moore, creator of the reimaginedBattlestar Galactica and writer/producer of Star Trek: The Next GenerationRoswell, and HBO’s critically acclaimed Carnivale.

And a beautiful new cover by World Fantasy Award-nominated artist Jill Bauman.
