Black God's Kiss (Planet Stories Library)
by C. L. MooreMeet “the first lady of sword-and-sorcery, Jirel of Joiry . . . in all her ferocious mailed glory and defiance” in these classic tales from a sci-fi pioneer (Tor.com). Originally published in the legendary magazine Weird Tales in 1934, C. L. Moore’s Jirel of Joiry is fantasy’s first true strong female protagonist, as well as one of the most striking and memorable characters to come out of the golden age of science fiction and fantasy. Published alongside landmark stories by H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, the six classic stories included in this volume prove that C. L. Moore’s Jirel is a rival to Conan the Barbarian and Elric of Melniboné, making Black God’s Kiss an essential addition to any fantasy library. “I was looking for tales of dire conflict, hot-blooded honor and impetuosity, leadership and courage—all the qualities that my culture told me were reserved for males . . . what a joy it was to run across Jirel, who at some levels of my soul I longed desperately to be.” —Suzy McKee Charnas, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author
Black Gods Kiss
by Lavie TidharHis name was Gorel of Goliris and he was a gunslinger and an addict, touched by the Black Kiss. Gorel wanted nothing more than to return to his home, the greatest empire the World had ever known, from which he was banished by sorcery as a child. But wherever he went, trouble doggedly followed, and death preceded his steps...In Black Gods Kiss Lavie Tidhar returns to the vivid world of his 2012 British Fantasy Award winning novella, "Gorel & The Pot-Bellied God." It collects 5 long adventures set before and after the events of "Pot-Bellied God," and includes a brand-new novella, "Kur-a-Len."In these pages you will find thrilling tales of guns and sorcery, filled with ghosts, mercenaries, necromancers and gods - not to mention sex, and death!REVIEWS:"One of the most flamboyantly entertaining collections of the year... what [the stories] are is almost the pure essence of pulp - violent, action-packed, paced like a runaway freight train, politically incorrect and socially unredeemable." - Locus Magazine"Muscular fantasy... varied, adult, occasionally surreal and always interesting. Black Gods Kiss is a collection for readers seeking a different flavour to their fantasy." - British Fantasy Society"Classic heroic fantasy... My overwhelming feeling upon reading it is gratitude that such an exceptional writer chooses to write the kind of books I want to read." - Theaker's Quarterly

Black Halo
by Sam SykesThe Tome of the Undergates has been recovered, and the gates of hell remain closed. Lenk and his five companions set sail to bring the accursed relic away from the demonic reach of Ulbecetonth, the Kraken Queen, but their ship crashes upon an island made of the bones left behind from a war long dead. And it appears that bloodthirsty alien warrior women, fanatical beasts from the deep and heretic-hunting wizards are the least of their concerns. Haunted by their pasts, plagued by their gods, tormented by their own people, their greatest foes may yet be themselves. The reach of Ulbecetonth is longer than hell can hold.
