The sequel-anthology to [[Harlan Ellison]]'s groundbreaking 1967 anthology ''[[Dangerous Visions]]''. Due to the size of it, it has been released in two volumes (although originally in one).

Like ''[[Dangerous Visions|DV]]'', it also features introductions to each story by Harlan, who talks about the writer, and an afterward by the writer about the story.

The [[Development Hell|planned sequel]] to ''ADV'' [[What Could Have Been|would have been]] ''[[The Last Dangerous Visions]]'', but...well, until the day of his death [[Berserk Button|Harlan didn't like to talk about it.]]
