The sun is shining on the gardens as I write this editorial, late in the evening, and all things are bright and beautiful. Moreover, exams have ended. Believe it or not, this conjunction of events is not pathetic fallacy on the part of your editor; in a decidedly un-English manner, it actually appears to be true. This is not a very small issue, somewhat to your editor’s amazement, given the preoccupation of most of us with other matters. My thanks go out to all the lovely contributors who have given their time to make this issue what it is. Especial thanks go to the wonderful and talented Louise Vincent, who is responsible for the pretty new cover that you have just seen. May it serve for many issues to come! This term we have a good balance between styles of content, from academic articles to poetry, via the Society’s usual detour to the realm of the extremely silly. (There is, of course, a degree of overlap between these.) But don’t take me at my word. Look on, and maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell! With warmest regards, Daeron alias Samuel M.

Coronavirus delivery updates. As he knew. Shelve Elric: Stormbringer. The writing is superior to that in the main tale, "Elric of Melnibone," probably because it was written at a later date. So who is this collection for? Michael John Moorcock is an English writer primarily of science fiction and fantasy who has also published a number of literary novels. Which would have been nice to know, Senor Editor. However, fate brings him into the possession of Stormbringer … More. That was in the 80s, and ever since I was a fan of Moorcock. He takes drugs for strength and fights some of his battles in a kind of dream world, projecting his spirit to other realms. It completely ruins the magic of the story, like finding out that Judy Garland basically lived off cocaine and cigarettes while also inhaling copious amounts of asbestos when filming The Wizard of Oz. My journey through Moorcock—revisiting old favourites for the first time in many years while also discovering new material—now arrives at Elric. The author of many literary novels and stories in practically every genre, his novels have won and been shortlisted for numerous awards including the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Whitbread and Guardian Fiction Prize.
