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
the short novel "No Great Magic" (originally published in "Galaxy"
magazine in 1963). "No Great Magic" is part of Leiber's Change War
series.
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.

After their legendary adventures in the northern wastes and beyond,
Fafhrd, the giant barbarian warrior, and the Gray Mouser, master
thief, novice wizard and expert swordsman, are back home in
Lankhmar again, and looking for an easy time. But Lankhmar is under
attack from a strange horde of invaders, including a two-headed
dragon and an army of miniature wanderers ... Once those threats
are seen off, a quest to the farthest reaches of Nehwon is in
prospect. And then, in the last book of their adventures, Fafhrd
goes sailing through the clouds, and the Mouser takes to the seas,
before we finally bid a fond, if sad, farewell to Lankhmar. THE
SECOND BOOK OF LANKHMAR includes the last three volumes of the
hugely enjoyable series.
