Welcome to Moorcock's Miscellany
Dear reader,
Many people have given their valuable time to create a website for the pleasure of posing questions to Michael Moorcock, meeting people from around the world, and mining the site for information. Please follow one of the links above to learn more about the site.
Found a paperback copy of Conjure Wife years ago, got the impression it might be a weird gothic romance experiment by FL and never got around to reading it. Let us know how it goes with the book, should you dare!

Two great literary horror novels. Nothing gothic romance about them. If anything they are even better than his fantasy stuff in my opinion. Of the two I probably prefer Conjure Wife (which was kindly sent to me by Lemec from this very forum - thanks again!), although both are well worth reading and I'll almost certainly read them both again.

Thanks for the info, I try to dig it out and give it a proper read.

I've not read Our Lady of Darkness yet DC, but I read Conjure Wife a long time ago and thought it was a fine tale, and another unacknowledged example of where Mr Leiber has influenced cinema with his literary style.

I've seen the 'Night of the Eagle' version, which starts off amazingly, but sadly degenerates as it goes on. Still if you like witchy movies (like I do) it's pretty good.
