The Clockwise Man (By:Justin Richards) (2005).Winner Takes All (By:Jacqueline Rayner) (2005).Monsters Inside (By:Stephen Cole) (2005).The author's compassion for his fellow humans comes through in every story, from the wrenching study of a mad rock star's long-suffering girlfriend in "The Opium General" to a gentle vignette of sword and sorcery hero Elric in "A Portrait in Ivory".
The subversive biblical reinterpretation of "Behold the Man" retains the power simultaneously to shock and to move readers deeply. The satiric barbs of "London Bone", scratching deep gouges across Thatcher's Britain, are as cutting now as when first published. But there's something for everyone to love, too, and this collection illustrates the breadth of Moorcock's talent. As Ann and Jeff VanderMeer say in their afterword, because of the author's diversity, there's something for every reader to hate. Editor of the iconic New Worlds series of magazines and anthologies, creator of protagonists Jerry Cornelius, Elric and the Von Beks, he has always been prepared to tear across boundaries. M ichael Moorcock is a giant in the history of science-fiction and fantasy - and mainstream literature.
