The six Elric novels by Moorcock as originally published in the US and the Pyat quartet. Finishing that quartet apparently almost broke the man. And for trivia, did you know that many consider his Nomads of the Time Stream trilogy the first steampunk? #riotgrams Duologies, Trilogies and more
Bookwomble Elric is a really interesting character - I love his part of the Eternal Champion saga. 6y
TobeyTheScavengerMonk Love Elric! Been meaning to check out more Eternal Champion stuff. I‘ve got big ol‘ Hawkmoon and Von Bek omnibuses that I found used that I need to get to. 6y
RJHowe @TobeyTheScavengerMonk there is no end to the great Eternal Champion stuff. Hawkmoon and Corum are closer is style to Elric while VB is a very different voice. 6y

RJHowe @Bookwomble for me Elric revolutionized fantasy. He really was a turning point, the anti-Frodo or anti-Conan 6y
Bookwomble Despite the Melnibonéans having few redeeming qualities, Moorcock managed to make Elric tragically sympathetic. Not to mention looking really cool 😎🧝♂️ 6y
Katerina I read Elric as a teenager and it made a big impression on me. I think it might be time to read them again 20 years later ☺ 6y
RJHowe @katerina I think he has written at least two or three more Elric books since then. They are very good as well 6y
TK-421 I love Michael Moorcock! I haven't read Pyat yet, but I've read the Elric and Corum books several times. The Oswald Bastable books were good, too--and yes, considered by many to be the first steam punk! I'm hoping to finally read John Daker this year and reread Elric and the second Corum trilogy. 6y
Katerina @RJHowe I'll have to lool into that. I remember that I had an edition that contained 2 or 3 books, but I didn't know he continued the story. 6y
Knightingale Haven‘t read Elric since I was a kid, but he still lives there in the back of my brain, with his dark sword on a ruby throne. 6y
RJHowe @Knightingale once he is in you are never getting him out. There have been about four books about him and his daughter since then. Equally powerful. 6y
