In my 20 years as a professional writer and editor, I have amassed a number of contributor’s copies as well as pre-release proofs for books I’ve worked on. Having been hit with a few unexpected expenses in the last month–and worrying that my office closet isn’t bigger on the inside–I’ve decided to have a little sale for the subscribers to my newsletter and the backers of my Babylon 5 Kickstarter.
To make this as easy as I possibly can:
1) E-mail me (jason@thejasondavis.com) the number for the item (or items) you want along with your ZIP code (or full address, if international). I will fill the orders in the sequence in which I receive your e-mail, so some items may sell out.
2) I’ll total the available items and send you a PayPal invoice with appropriate shipping fees. (If you purchase multiple items, I’ll apply a little discount as a thank you.)
3) Once you’ve paid the PayPal invoice, I’ll pack and ship your items, sending you the tracking number once the package is on the way.

A FEW (AMONG THE MANY) QUESTIONS THIS BOOK ANSWERS: What stopped Attila the Hun from sacking the Holy City of Rome in the year 452 when it lay defenseless before him? Where is the sunken continent of Atlantis and what will happen if it rises? Has anyone ever made an interesting case for the merits of waging war, and how does war benefit the human race? What happened When Santa Claus attacked Ronald Reagan in the men’s toilet of the abandoned Camarillo State Mental Institution? Is it true that Jesus had a homosexual liaison with Prometheus? Does the Abominable Snowman exist, and what’s his sex life like? What’s the worst thing that can happen to those who do too much bad dope? How do you identify and survive the attentions of emotional vampires? Are you listening? Why are the bizarre stories of Harlan Ellison so damned popular, translated into thirteen languages, and made into movies; why do they influence a whole generation of younger writers, provoke lynch mobs, and win this Ellison person such an unconscionable array of literary awards? ASK NOT FOR WHOM THIS BOOK TOILS. IT TOILS FUR THEE, KIDDO. [Features 90 pages of bonus content not found in other editions.]

4) Blood’s a Rover: The Complete Adventures of a Boy and His Dog (2021 Edgeworks Abbey Archive Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9781946542991 $30
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.
Harlan Ellison introduced you to Vic and Blood in 1969’s Nebula Award-winning novella, “A Boy and His Dog.” You thrilled to their on-screen adventures in the 1975 Hugo Award-winning feature film adaptation billed as “a kinky tale of survival.” 1977 and 1980 brought brief reunions in “Eggsucker” and “Run, Spot, Run,” and the promise of another story-and a third solo, Spike, to make the Dystopian Duo a Tribulation Trio-but only audiobooks and comics followed, revisiting the same tales.
Now, nearly fifty years after they first set off across the blasted wasteland, Vic and Blood are back.
Harlan Ellison and his editor, Jason Davis, have painstakingly assembled the whole story of Vic and Blood and Spike from the author’s files, using revised-and-expanded versions of the novella and short stories, interstitial material developed for Richard Corben’s graphic adaptation, and-for the first time-never-before-published material from the aborted 1977 NBC television series Blood’s a Rover to tell the complete story of A Boy and His Dog, and a Girl who is tougher than the other two combined.
And let’s not forget the wit and wisdom of Blood. [Features 12 pages of bonus content not found in other editions.]
5) Brain Movies: The Original Teleplays of Harlan Ellison, Vol. 1 (Edgeworks Abbey, 2011, Limited Edition Trade Paperback) $250
Reproduced from Ellison’s private files (and occasionally featuring his hand-written alterations), these scripts appear exactly as they did when the writer pulled them from his Olympia manual typewriter. Includes “Memo From Purgatory” from The Alfred Hitchcock Hour; “Soldier” and “Demon With a Glass Hand” from The Outer Limits; “Paladin of the Lost Hour” and “Crazy as a Soup Sandwich” from The Twilight Zone revival; and “The Face of Helene Bournouw” from The Hunger. This limited edition is signed by Harlan Ellison and J. Michael Straczynski. It contains 17 pages of Babylon 5-related material not found in the regular edition.

7) Brain Movies: The Original Teleplays of Harlan Ellison, Vol. 7 (Edgeworks Abbey 2016 Limited 1st Edition Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9780989525794 $60
Two of Harlan Ellison’s most compelling unfulfilled dreams will, at long last, finally find their audience when you open this book to discover 1968’s Esper–the story of a broadcast news journalist whose emerging telepathy changes his professional perspective forever-and 1975’s The Tigers Are Loose-which finds a penal psychiatrist attempting to understand and treat the monsters in our midst. This limited edition also contained Harlan’s unfinished screenplay adaptation of Web of the City titled Rumble.
8) Brain Movies: The Original Teleplays of Harlan Ellison, Vol. 8 (Edgeworks Abbey, 2019, 1st Edition Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9781946542069 $40
Created in 1965 and sold to Paramount Television and NBC in 1969, Man without Time was to have starred Leonard Nimoy as Strang, a time traveler sent from a war-ravaged future to the 1970s to subtly alter the present to avert a nightmarish tomorrow. Aided by Tex, a sentient computer, Strang involves himself in the lives of people whose historical footprints are greater than they could possibly imagine.
Having steered the playboy police captain Amos Burke into a life of espionage and masterminded adventures for Napoleon Solo and Ilya Kuryakin, Ellison was a natural choice to bring Derek Flint to the small screen in a pilot movie based on the two big-screen outings of James Coburn’s spy.
Throughout the 1970s, Harlan’s colleagues–Richard Matheson, William F. Nolan, and John Tomerlin–created and/or dramatized tales of the supernatural for producer-director Dan Curtis. In 1977, the Dark Shadows creator came calling at Ellison Wonderland, and Dark Destroyer was the result, though even Cordwainer Bird didn’t have a chance to stir from his roost to disavow the final product.
9) Brain Movies Presents Blood’s a Rover (Edgeworks Abbey, 2019, 1st Edition Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9781946542076 $60
In the early 1970s, filmmaker L. Q. Jones bought the movie rights to Harlan Ellison’s Nebula Award-winning novella, “A Boy and His Dog.” Ellison himself was engaged to write the screenplay, but exhaustion called a halt to the heroes’ post-apocalyptic perambulations after only 14 pages. Jones took over the writing chores and produced and directed the Hugo Award-winning film.
In the late 1970s, NBC took an interest in the movie’s ongoing success, and Ellison was commissioned to create a two-hour pilot film, a sequel to the story of Vic and Blood seen on the big screen. Two drafts were written over the summer of 1977, but–for reasons best explained by the author in his essay “Huck and Tom: The Bizarre Liaison of Ellison and Jones”–the project never went before cameras.
With the story of Vic and Blood…and Spike finally told in full by Subterranean Press’s recent release of Blood’s a Rover, Edgeworks Abbey now offers a special edition of BRAIN MOVIES focused on the tribulatory trio.
10) Can & Can’tankerous (Edgeworks Abbey, 2016 Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9780989525732 $40

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.
When he is down, kick for the head and groin. Avoid cops. Play it cool. There are not many rules in the primer for gang kids, but they all count. They are all easily understood, because they use a simple and sound philosophy—it’s a stinking life, so get your kicks while you can. The gang is home, take what you want, tell them nothing—and do not get caught. Two gangs of juvenile delinquents run riot in New York City. They constantly try to outdo each other with their clothes, weapons, language, and lack of morals. They are not just kids playing at war—they mean business. The only person who can infiltrate the gang is someone they can trust, someone like themselves. Someone who knows how to handle a knife and a gun…
If all you know of Harlan Ellison is his speculative fiction, prepare yourself for the breakneck reality of CHILDREN OF THE STREETS. [Features 34 pages of bonus content not found in other editions.]

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.
This is the book that established Harlan Ellison once and for all as a master of short fiction; this is the book that took Ellison to Hollywood; and this is the only paperback book, ever, reviewed by the legendary Dorothy Parker in Esquire magazine:
“It is not the province of this department to take up recent paperbacks… But lately there has come into my weary hands a paperback of short stories by Harlan Ellison, a young writer whose name I had not known before. The book is horribly titled, ‘Gentleman Junkie and Other Stories of the Hung-Up Generation.’ … It turns out that Mr. Ellison is a good, honest, clean writer, putting down what he has seen and known, and no sensationalism about it… I cannot recommend it too vehemently.” — DOROTHY PARKER
[Features over 60 pages of bonus content not found in other editions.]
15) Honorable Whoredom at a Penny a Word (2021 Edgeworks Abbey Archive Trade Hardcover) ISBN: 9781946542427 $90
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.
Honorable Whoredom at a Penny a Word collects the hard-boiled fiction Ellison wrote for the mystery/suspense digests of the 1950s, along with a few later contributions to the genre from the men’s magazines of the 1960s. In these pages, you will find Ellison’s only recurring character, insurance investigator-turned-fixer Jerry Killian, as well as the diminutive private dick Big John Novak, a character intended to continue, but only appearing in one suspenseful outing. His aborted second appearance, “In Small Packages,” makes its debut herein, alongside a pair of first drafts that showcase the rapid development of Ellison’s craft across his first years as a professional writer-a time when pros were paid a penny a word. [Features content not found in the 2013 first edition.]
16) The Last Person to Marry a Duck Lived 300 Years Ago: Pointed Essays (Edgeworks Abbey, 2016 Limited Trade Paperback) $60
First came The Glass Teat, then Harlan Ellison’s Hornbook, then An Edge in My Voice, and, finally, Harlan Ellison’s Watching—but now, Harlan Ellison presents not one, not two, not three, but four whole columns* in one book! But wait, there’s more! Not only does this book contain four complete columns (Ask Uncle Harlan, The Streets, The Pitch, and I Had a Thought Today…), it also features more than a dozen one-off essays covering everything from the Heaven’s Gate suicides to the fallout from the 9/11 attacks, from chaos theory to Lovecraftian horror, and even essays on Harlan’s pals Robert Sheckley and Theodore Sturgeon. Oh, and did we mention that two pieces have never before been published?
*In the interest of full disclosure, we should probably note that none of the columns in question lasted more than four installments, but that’s hardly our fault; one of them outlasted its original venue of publication, so that’s something, right?
17) Love Ain’t Nothing But Sex Misspelled (Edgeworks Abbey, 2022, Trade Paperback Archive Edition) ISBN: 9781946542717 $60
Five years in the making, the Edgeworks Abbey Archive represents Harlan Ellison’s last word on his written legacy. Researched and edited by the author’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.
History will surely agree that America’s most destructive contribution to 20th Century living has been that damaged product called plastic romance. It twists and savages us. After a lifetime of lies about what love is supposed to be, are you finally angry and depressed enough to be part of a “recall” on that shabby, mildewed merchandise? If so, join the remarkable Harlan Ellison as he dissects the soul and body of love in Our Time. In 15 scalpel-sharp stories that range from the legalized whorehouses of Nevada to the deadly streets of New York City, from the abortion mills of Tijuana to the sound stages of Hollywood, the writer whom Oui magazine charmingly named “the perpetually angry young punk of the bizarre” rips the Saran-Wrap off love and hate and sin and twittering passion…to disclose the raw meat beneath. He presents a world of hearts&flowers guaranteed to revise your thinking about where love is found and how it looks. [Features 88 pages of material not found in other editions.]

Amid the ruins of a world in which men become monsters, dreams turn to poison, and the only sanity lies in fantasy, these nine stories and three essays take you beyond the brink, to study the terrifying landscape charted by Harlan Ellison.
The Chicago Tribune: “An impressive performer; a young man to watch for surprises; unpredictable and rewarding.”

19) Possibly Impossible: Early Fantasies (Edgeworks Abbey, 2022, Casebound Hardback) ISBN: 9781946542472 $200

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.
Often written overnight for a penny a word and tailored to a title and cover art created months in advance, the fantasies herein were written in the first year and a half of Harlan Ellison’s career, when he churned out fiction at a remarkable rate, to learn his craft and pay the rent. From a detective stumbling upon an impossible murder to an environmental apocalypse that bathes the world in fire, these are tales brimming with invention, prefiguring later obsessions, and dashing along at a breakneck pace. This is not the nihilistic Ellison of “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” or the nostalgic Ellison of “Jeffty Is Five”; this is the embryonic author, trying to type at the speed of an imaginative engine just coming to life.
Previously collected in the out-of-print limited editions, Coffin Nails and Pebbles from the Mountain, these rare stories were the last published-but-uncollected tales in the Ellison oeuvre, finally available in a three trade editions.
20) This Book Needs No Introduction by Harlan Ellison (Harlan Ellison Books Preservation Project, 2019 Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9781946542052 $60
A collection of introductions and afterwords written by Harlan Ellison, curated for backers of the Harlan Ellison Books Preservation Project.
21) Why Do You Call Me Ishmael When You Know My Name Is Bernie? (Edgeworks Abbey, 2018 1st Edition Trade Paperback) ISBN: 9781946542083 $50
From a tour of Harlan’s favorite films of the ’40s to an account of the best comics of the ’90s, Why Do You Call Me Ishmael When You Know My Name Is Bernie? gathers an omnifarious array of Ellisonian essays that use popular culture as a window on sociology and politics, art as an insight into the human soul, and Dashiel Hammett for an English lesson.
Most of these essays began life as introductions to one book or another, some made one-off appearances in magazines, and at least one did both! They may have been written for a myriad of reasons, but–at the end of the day–they all offer a look inside the mind of the man who crafted them…a man not named Ishmael…or Bernie…though he has been known to sign books he doesn’t care for as “Herman Melville.”
Harlan Ellison proofs edited by Jason Davis
In 2009, I became Harlan Ellison’s editor, producing a range of original collections distributed via Harlan Ellison Books (dot) com. In the process of creating these books, a number of proof copies were generated for each volume, both to allow me to proofread the text and fine tune the aesthetics of each volume. These proofs would be shown to Harlan and Susan Ellison for their notes, which were then incorporated into the finished book. Once a title was published, my proof would go into my office closet. I now have very little room in my office closet, and have decided to find homes for my proofs, each a snapshot of the book publishing process. Most of these proofs exhibit slight differences from the book as finally published. The proof may exhibit typographical errors corrected before the title went to press or feature layout or cover variations that were still in flux when it was printed.
22) Again, Honorable Whoredom at a Penny a Word (Edgeworks Abbey, 2014 1st Edition Trade Paperback Proof) ISBN: 9780989525756 $80
You will not find “‘Repent, Harlequin!’ Said the Ticktockman” in this book. Nor will you find “I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream,” “A Boy and His Dog,” or “The Deathbird,” or any of Harlan Ellison’s myriad masterpieces. What will you find herein? The front cover might give you a nasty clue: stories of crime and amorality, of sex and violence. What the cover might not have conveyed was that the award-winning tales enumerated above were forged in an imagination stoked for the preceding decade by the need to trade tales to the pulps and slick men’s magazine to make the rent ($7 a week). You hold in your hands the work of a writer painfully crawling forward, tale by tale, honing his craft in an industry where every word counted…of course, you knew all that; you got it from the title.
23) Brain Movies: The Original Teleplays of Harlan Ellison, Vol. 4 (Edgeworks Abbey, 2013 2nd Edition Trade Paperback Proof) Edition ISBN: 9780989525718 $50
Includes Harlan’s unproduced script for Brillo, based on the story by Ellison and Ben Bova, an episode of Burke’s Law, and an unproduced outline for The Sixth Sense.
24) Brain Movies: The Original Teleplays of Harlan Ellison, Vol. 5 (Edgeworks Abbey, 2013 1st Edition Trade Paperback Proof) ISBN: 9780983622390 $60 JOIN HARLAN ELLISON IN A BATTLE AGAINST THE DARK FORCES: “[The story] steals righteously from Lost Horizon and the marvelous works of H.P. Lovecraft and the caveats of Charles Fort and even the Dr. Strange comics (with a nod to Billy Batson, Captain Marvel, and the old wizard Shazam),” exclaimed Ellison in his 1972 NBC-TV pitch for The Dark Forces, an unproduced fantasy series. Disenchanted attorney Lee Kraiter travels to the roof of the world to learn the meaning of life. Instead, he returns to the Western World to wage a mystical war against the eponymous entities. Two versions of the pilot teleplay—“The Salamander Enchantment”—are included herein.
SEE ELLISON’S FIRST ADVENTURE WITH THE CAPED CRUSADER: Though Harlan’s written numerous comic book scripts for the Dark Knight, his first slide down the Bat-Pole was in 1966 when he pitched an episode to ABC’s Batman, starring Adam West and Burt Ward. Tragically—for reasons explained in the editor’s notes—“The Two-Way Crimes of Two-Face” treatment was never produced, but now you can read what the Unrepentant Harlequin had in mind for the Dynamic Duo and their Bifurcated Foe.
GO ON THE RUN, BECAUSE LIFE ENDS AT 30: Harlan Ellison was otherwise committed when his segment of MGM’s 1977–8 Logan’s Run television series (based on the 1976 film, itself based upon the 1967 novel by William F. Nolan and George Clayton Johnson) progressed from treatment to teleplay via Roberto Rossellini-collaborator Alfred Hayes (Paisan), but here—for the first time in print—is Ellison’s storyline for “Crypt,” which starred Gregory Harrison as Logan 5.
TAKE ON ADOLF HITLER: Ellison’s unproduced teleplay for World War II action series The Rat Patrol—“The Duel to the Death Raid”—developed from a perfect pitch: What if the Allied soldier protagonists captured der Führer? Read what might have been if Ellison had joined the North African Campaign.
HAVE YOUR FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME: The third of Ellison’s Burke’s Law teleplays—“Who Killed Andy Zygmunt?” finds the titular homicide chief investigating the murder of a an Andy Wharhol-esque pop artist.
and finally…
READ HARLAN ELLISON’S FIRST-EVER TELEPLAY: Written for the syndicated skydiving adventure series Ripcord, Ellison’s “Where Do the Elephants Go to Die?” was inspired by the then-recent suicide of Ernest Hemingway. With the series newly released on DVD, there’s never been a better time to revisit the show that resulted in Ellison including pronunciation guides in all his future scripts. (The editor’s notes herein explain all, but you really have to hear the original delivery for the full effect…)
25) None of the Above: A Screenplay (Edgeworks Abbey, 2012 Trade Paperback Proof) ISBN: 9780983622369 $50
Harlan Ellison’s 238-page, unproduced screenplay adaptation of Norman Spinrad’s Hugo Award-nominated novel Bug Jack Barron that was to have been directed by Costa-Gavras (Z) for Universal Pictures in the early 1980s.
