by Fritz Leiber (Author)
The Fritz Leiber Super Pack #1 gathers more than five hundred pages of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and sword-and-sorcery from one of the true giants of twentieth-century speculative fiction. Fritz Leiber won five Hugo Awards, three Nebula Awards, three World Fantasy Awards, and a Bram Stoker Award, and he was named a Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. His influence runs across the genre field: from post-apocalyptic science fiction and urban unease to modern horror, weird fantasy, and the sword-and-sorcery tradition he helped define.
Collected here are twenty-five stories showing Leiber's extraordinary range: the chilling survival classic "A Pail of Air," the political and dystopian force of "Appointment in Tomorrow," the sharp social menace of "Coming Attraction," the strange future of "The Moon Is Green," the comic fantasy of "Kreativity for Kats," and major Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser adventures including "Lean Times in Lankhmar," "The Unholy Grail," "The Cloud of Hate," "When the Sea-King's Away," and "Bazaar of the Bizarre." This is Leiber as science-fiction writer, fantasist, horror writer, satirist, and master of atmosphere.
