Spider Kiss
by Ellison, Harlan
Spider Kiss (originally entitled Rockabilly) is a 1961 novel by author Harlan Ellison. The novel follows the meteoric rise and eventual fall of an early rock 'n' roll singer named Stag Preston, whose description would lead you to believe the character was inspired by Elvis Presley or Jerry Lee Lewis. Preston also shares some traits in common with Lonesome Rhodes, the character played by Andy Griffith in the movie "A Face in the Crowd".
