An outstanding collection from the master of the fantasy genre, containing familiar favourites such as 'Old Hundredth' and 'The Moment of Eclipse'. The two dozen stories are set in a variety of outlandish locations in both space and time - mediaeval Serbia; Sumatra two million years ago; India in the 1960s - and each extraordinary journey is laced with grim hilarity. Lesser-known works in this collection include 'Journey to the Goat Star' in which we are taken on a metaphysical voyage, and 'Lies!' in which we witness grisly erotic conduct in the Black Forest.
