From World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award&;winner Michael Moorcock, comes the first book in his famous Elric of Melnibone series, brought to vivid new life with stunning illustrations.

In one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the 20th century, Elric is the brooding, albino emperor of the dying Kingdom of Melnibone. With Melnibone&;s years of grandeur and decadence long since passed, Elric&;s amoral cousin Yrkoon sets his eyes on the throne. Elric, realizing he is his country&;s best hope, must face his nefarious cousin in an epic battle for the right to rule.

Elric of Melnibone is the first in Michael Moorcock&;s incredible series, which created fantasy archetypes that have echoed through the genre for generations. The beautiful, vivid illustrations bring new life to the story and are sure to captivate fans, new and old.

Industry Reviews

"[Moorcock] can gleefully give you all the formulae of every kind of story there ever was, because he's tried and tested all of them ... the master story-teller of our time."--Angela Carter author of The Bloody Chamber, and Nights at the Circus
"[Moorcock] is the greatest writer of post-Tolkien British Fantasy."--Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalaier & Clay, and Telegraph Avenue
"Moorcock as the most important successor to Mervyn Peake and Wyndham Lewis... The vast, tragic symbols by which Moorcock continually illuminates the metaphysical quest of his hero are a measure of the author's remarkable talents"--J.G.Ballard, author of Empire of the Sun, Crash, and The Drowned World
"Moorcock's influence is nothing like Tolkien's, at least on the surface, but his vision of a speculative-fiction genre that can be psychologically complex is evident in how very sophisticated some of it has become--from "True Detective" to Jeff VanderMeer, from David Mitchell to "Under the Skin."--The New Yorker
