The works include award-winning Ellison stories as well as works that are no longer in print. Ellison has won numerous awards for his writing and has published over 1,700 stories, essays, columns, and novels. Harlan Ellison commented: ``Watching all the blue-sky IPO websites come and go, promising the riches of Araby but delivering ashes and excuses, functioning only as sucking black holes draining off investment capital, it is some small miracle -- in my view -- the way Fictionwise.com operates with calm, determined professionalism to put the work out there on the web. If one needs a metaphor for their way of doing business, for their attention to detail and quality, their scrupulous honesty and respect for the creative talent in the milieu that is lousy with hot-air hustlers, adolescent hacker-thieves and just plain inept buffoons, try this: the 300 Spartans who took on all of Xerxes' vast and endless armies. Here's wishing Fictionwise.com a long and smooth highway.'' ``Ellison's work is so wide-ranging that he defies genre boundaries,'' said Stephen Pendergrast, co-publisher at Fictionwise. ``This diversity is well represented in the titles he has granted to Fictionwise.com. They include mystery, horror, fantasy, science fiction, mainstream literature, and even a western. We are very pleased to be able to offer Harlan Ellison's work to our thousands of members.''
