Books Update: Re-Working our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Fritz Leiber Part 1
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for this books category, with an image for each book. This week, we reach the works of that very versatile and stylish American author Fritz Leiber, who was equally at home in science fiction, fantasy and horror. In this week’s update, we concentrate on his science fiction (Best Of including the acclaimed award-winning short Gonna Roll The Bones, the post apocalyptic Night Of The Wolf and The Silver Eggheads, a comedic look at the publishing world of the future) and his horror (Gather, Darkness where science is supressed and witchcraft is the way of life, Our Lady Of Darkness touching the occult twilight world of San Francisco in the 1920s and Shadows With Eyes six tales of crawling horror). In the second part of our Leiber listing (coming soon) we’ll be looking at his fantasy, namely the Swords series starring Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser.
