Five years in the making, the Edgeworks Abbey Archive represents Harlan Ellison’s last word on his written legacy. Researched and edited by Ellison’s long-time associate, Jason Davis, under the supervision of Harlan and Susan Ellison, this collection assembles the preferred texts of each story and essay along with previously uncollected and unpublished material to create the definitive edition.

Previously issued as an oversized trade paperback in 2013, HONORABLE WHOREDOM AT A PENNY A WORD has been completely re-set for its reissue as part of the Edgeworks Abbey Archive collection.
