Tales of the White Wolf (Michael Moorcock's Elric)

Moorcock's Elric novels describe a decaying world of malevolent magic and calamitous destiny, and though hope is found in scant, brief flashes, it is invariably overshadowed by evil. In this anthology, however, Moorcock has allowed 24 other writers to craft stories of Elric and his times, as well as stories that span the realms of Arthurian legend, 15th century Milan, Nazi Germany, and even our modern, contemporary present. Into these tales hope shines with greater intensity, humor, relief and release appear with refreshing peaks. But blackest treacheries are uncovered as well, sorrows which should never have been...
