He claims hes not a fan of rock-and-roll, but somehow Harlan Ellisons seminal novel based on the career of Jerry Lee Lewis ended up in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the first and still one of the best dissections of the wildly destructive rock-and-roll lifestyle, Spider Kiss isnt about giant cockroaches that attack Detroit or space invaders that smell like chicken soup. Instead, its the story of Luther Sellers, a poor kid from Louisville with a voice like an angel whos renamed Stag Preston by a ruthless promoter. Prestons meteoric rise on the music scene is matched only by the rise in his enormous appetites and not just for home cooking and soon the invisible monkey named Success is riding him straight to hell. This raucous early novel reinforces Ellisons reputation as one of Americas most dynamic writers.
