K. E. Wagner and Elric

[gabriele]

Did you know that K. E. Wagner wrote a novel with both his hero (kane) and elric?

Did you read it?? What do you think about it???

It would be great to know what Michael thinks about that...

I think the item you're referring to is the short story The Gothic Touch, which appeared in the anthology Tales Of The White Wolf, which contained Elric stories written by other authors? Just checking

I think you are referring to this book. I came across it in a random booshop some days ago. Unsure of what to make of it I decided not to get it for some inexplicable reason. I would love to hear what people think of that.

I picked up a second-hand hardback copy of this a couple of years ago. There are some well-written Elric pieces in there. "White Wolf's Song" opens the collection (which had so much more resonance after re-reading it as part of the Second Ether series a couple of days ago). "One Life Furnished in Early Moorcock" is in there as well, which is probably my favourite Elric tribute (as well as being one of my favourite Gaiman stories) - a gentle, touching portait of the end of childhood. Tad William's "Go Ask Elric" is wonderful, and "The Littlest Stormbringer" struck me as pretty cool as well. It's worth getting hold of if you ask me.

Cool. It looks like the story in that might well be "The Gothic Touch" after all, which is also collected in Tales of the White Wolf. The book on Amazon lists these: "The Gothic", "Touch Midnight Sun" (Poem). Looks like the title has been split - probably just a typo imho.

[Thongor]

Yeah, it's a Typo. Midnight Sun has all the Kane short stories, including Gothic Touch. It's a great collection.

Yes, I feel I can suggest this book, it's very nice. Way off better than all the Shannara's Useless Saga, for instance...

... unfortunately, S&S is full of craps :(

Which is odd, because in most fiction there's usually a deficit of characters actually going to the toilet.

It seems to be a cult book.... I definitely want it! Thanks for the suggestion!!!!

Although the second book in that series Pawn of Chaos had a few good things in it, it wasn't nearly as strong a collection. Tad's story was brilliant. Neil's, too. A wide range of good writers. Both those collections were sold by White Wolf in France and the authors didn't know about it. Neither did I. Attempts to track down who received the money and authors' copies are proving difficult.
