About this ebook
“A dynamite piece of storytelling”—the Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author turns to musical fiction in a novel of a rock star’s tumultuous career (AllReaders.com).
If you thought the only thing Ellison writes is speculative fiction, craziness about giant cockroaches that attack Detroit, or invaders from space who look like pink eggplant and smell like chicken soup, this dynamite novel of the emergent days of rock and roll will turn you around at least three times. No spaceships, no robots, just a nice kid from Louisville named Stag Preston with a voice like an angel, seductive moves like the devil, and an invisible monkey named Success riding him straight to hell . . .

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Harlan Ellison has an amazing gift of pulling a reader into his stories, even when one isn't particularly interested in the subject of the story. I had only read his science fiction before this. I picked up this book on vacation knowing nothing about it, and could hardly put it down. Love or hate the man (I'll go with love but he is rather polarizing), you have to love his writing.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5When I first picked this book up, I had read a bit of Ellison's work here and there. Short stories mostly, as that is typically what he writes. I didn't know at all what to expect from this book, but I was very pleasantly surprised. If you're a fan of the behind-the-scenes of the lives of notorious celebrities, the idea that fame given to the wrong person can become catastrophic, then this book will appeal to you. It takes that concept and blows it up into something really menacing and fascinating. This book cemented that I would seek out more of Ellison's work, and I'm definitely not sorry.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Early Ellison, a sort of take on Jerry Lee Lewis. An interesting read and compelling as usual, if a bit dated.
