The release of this omnibus, illustrated 480-page volume is a major fantasy publishing event. British author Michael Moorcock is best known, especially in the United States, for his tales of Elric, but these classic stories have been held out of print for years by his agent. Now this influential antihero reemerges with his comprehensive collector's edition. Elric: The Sealer of Souls contains the stories that made its title character and Moorcock famous: "The Dreaming City, "While the Gods Laugh," "The Stealer of Souls, "Kings in Darkness," "The Flamebringers," "Dead God's Homecoming," "Black Sword's Brothers," "Sad Giant's Shield," and "Doomed Lord's Passing." In addition to these fantasy standards, this paperback original contains an introduction by Alan Moore, a foreword by Moorcock, and several background essays and other additional material.
