Beskrivning

C. L. Moore created the fiercely brave heroine Jirel of Joiry for Weird Tales, a magazine that introduced readers to the writings of some of the most legendary authors in speculative fiction. With fiery red hair, lion-yellow eyes and a mighty two-handed sword, Jirel’s quick wit and defiant demeanour immediately entranced readers and cemented her as one of the first and most iconic characters in the sword-and-sorcery genre.Featuring seven classic Jirel tales and three of Moore’s finest short stories — 'Shambleau', 'No Woman Born', and 'Vintage Season' — this collection celebrates one of the most influential speculative fiction authors who changed the rules of the game for early twentieth-century fantastic literature.

Mer om författaren

C. L. Moore (Author) C.L. Moore (1911-1987) was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. She published her first story, 'Shambleau,' in 1933 in Weird Tales, where it was an immediate success. She proceeded to write high-profile stories for Weird Tales and Astounding Science Fiction for the next decade, earning particular acclaim for her characters Jirel of Joiry, the first strong female protagonist in the sword-and-sorcery genre, and daring spaceman Northwest Smith. Moore collaborated on numerous stories with her husband – science fiction author, Henry Kuttner. She received the World Fantasy Award for Life Achievement in 1981, and in 1998 was posthumously inducted in the Science Fiction and Fantasy Hall of Fame.
