Books Update: The works of C L Moore
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Catherine Lucille Moore was one of the earliest female writers in this genre, coming to prominence in the 1930s, the Golden Age of Science Fiction, first in her own name, then from 1940 in collaboration with her husband Henry Kuttner, both in their own names and under serval pseudonyms. Her early work was as much fantasy and horror as it was science fiction, and featured her most famous creations, the rogue adventurer Northwest Smith wandering through the Solar System and the swordswoman/warrior Jirel of Joiry, one of the first female protagonists in sword and sorcery fiction. Two of the books in this update feature short stories of these characters (Shambleau is the most famous Northwest Smith story, notable for its horror and sexual overtones). Our third book is a sci-fi time travel romp about Earth’s final days by Moore and her hubby.
