“Moorcock’s writing is intricate, fabulous, and mellifluous.
Reading his words I was, and am, reminded of music. His
novels are symphonic experiences. They dance and cry and
bleed and make promises that can live only in the moment of
their utterance.”–from the Foreword by Walter Mosley, New
York Times bestselling author of Blonde Faith and Devil in a
Blue Dress
Elric of Melniboné. The name is like a magic spell,
conjuring up the image of an albino champion and his cursed,
vampiric sword, Stormbringer. Elric, the last emperor of a
cruel and decadent race, rogue and adventurer, hero and
murderer, lover and traitor, is mystery and paradox
personified–a timeless testament to the creative achievement
of Michael Moorcock, the most significant fantasy writer
since Tolkien.
Now comes the second in this definitive series of Elric
volumes. Gorgeously illustrated by acclaimed artist Michael
Wm. Kaluta and including a new Introduction by Michael
Moorcock, this collection features, along with Elric, such
renowned characters as Erekosë, Rackhir the Red Archer, and
Count Renark von Bek. Readers will delight in adventures
that include “To Rescue Tanelorn . . .,” “Master of Chaos,”
“The Singing Citadel,” “The Black Blade’s Song,” and the
novella version of “The Eternal Champion.”Elric: To Rescue
Tanelorn is essential reading for every fantasy fan and
provides indelible proof–if any was needed–of the genius of
Michael Moorcock.
“The most significant UK author of sword and sorcery, a form
he has both borrowed from and transformed.”–The Encyclopedia
of Fantasy
