Rewind
Terry D. England
“I am Aaron Lee Fairfax. I am forty-three years old. I am married to Janessa, but she wants a divorce. I work for Thagg, Morgan, and Edwards Brokerage Group in Kansas City, Missouri. I own a Maserati.”
While studying his beloved San Francisco through binoculars from his apartment window, horror writer Franz Westen is astonished to see a mysterious figure waving at him from a hilltop two miles away. He walks to Corona Heights and looks back at his building – and discovers the same figure waving at him from his apartment window! He soon finds himself caught in a century-spanning curse that may have destroyed Clark Ashton Smith and Jack London.
The book is Our Lady of Darkness by Fritz Leiber, and it was 1978 winner of the World Fantasy Award. E-Reads is happy to offer it as an e-book. The print version, paired with another Leiber horror classic, Conjure Wife, is available from Tor.
“In today’s terms this is horror in the style of The Blair Witch Project. A story permeated by a sense of menacing creepiness” says one Amazon.com reviewer.
Fritz Leiber is considered one of science fiction’s legends. Author of a prodigious number of stories and novels, many of which were made into films, he is best known as creator of the classic Lankhmar fantasy series. Leiber has won awards too numerous to count including the coveted Hugo and Nebula, and was honored as a lifetime Grand Master by the Science Fiction Writers of America. He died in 1992.
Publication of Our Lady of Darkness brings to 13 the number of works by Leiber published by E-Reads. Visit our Leiber page to see them all and order any that may be missing from your collection.
