tale of the world 360 years after a nuclear holocaust, when priests
rule using trickery and techology -- and of Armon Jarles,
Collected in this volume are three of Fritz Leiber's works: the
short novel "The Creature from Cleveland Depths" (originally
published in "Galaxy" magazine in 1962); the humorous "Bread
Overhead" (originally published in "Galaxy" magazine in 1958); and

magazine in 1963). "No Great Magic" is part of Leiber's Change War

While Howard Phillips Lovecraft was closing the final chapter of
his writing career, Fritz Reuter Leiber was only beginning to open
his own. The year was 1936 and Jonquil Leiber, Fritz's first wife,
sent a letter on her own initiative to Lovecraft, knowing that her
husband had been an avid admirer of his work, ever since his first
reading of "The Colour out of Space" and hoping that Lovecraft's
presence in Fritz's slow-paced writing career might be the source
of inspiration he so dearly needed. Lovecraft replied promptly on
November 2 of that year, the seed of an invigorating
correspondence, which lasted till Lovecraft's passing. Fritz Leiber
and H.P. Lovecraft: Writers of the Dark presents Lovecraft's
letters to Leiber, an impressive selection of Leiber's fiction
which shows Lovecraft's influence, and a selection of Leiber's
essays on Lovecraft and Matters Lovecraftian. Features an
introduction by Ben J. S. Szumskyj and an afterword by S.T. Joshi.
This Hugo Award–winning disaster epic from the Science Fiction
Grand Master “ranks among [his] most ambitious works” (SFSite).
The Wanderer inspires feelings of pure terror in the hearts of the
five billion human beings inhabiting Planet Earth. The presence of
an alien planet causes increasingly severe tragedies and chaos.
However, one man stands apart from the mass of frightened humanity.
For him, the legendary Wanderer is a mere tale of bizarre alien
domination and human submission. His conception of the Wanderer
bleeds into unrequited love for the mysterious “she” who owns
him.
The award-winning sword and sorcery classic that introduced Fafhrd
and the Gray Mouser, from a Grand Master of Science Fiction and
Fantasy. First in the influential fan-favorite series, Swords and
Deviltry collects four fantastical adventure stories from Fritz
Leiber, the author who coined the phrase "sword and sorcery" and
helped birth an entire genre. In "Induction," in the realm of
Nehwon, fate brings young prince Fafhrd and apprentice magician the
Gray Mouser together to mark the beginning of a loyal and lifelong
friendship. Consumed by his wicked mother's enchantments, Fafhrd
finds freedom by pursuing the love of a beautiful actress in the
Nebula and Hugo Award-nominated "The Snow Women." Studying sorcery
under a great wizard in a land where it is forbidden, Mouse crosses
the thin line between white and black magic to avenge a great wrong
in "The Unholy Grail." And in the Nebula and Hugo Award-winning
novella "Ill Met in Lankhmar," Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser disguise
themselves as beggars to infiltrate the Thieves' Guild-only to pay
a horrible price for their greed when they come face-to-face with a
monstrous evil.
