Book excerpt: Meet “the first lady of sword-and-sorcery, Jirel of Joiry . . . in all her ferocious mailed glory and defiance” in these classic tales from a sci-fi pioneer (Tor.com). Originally published in the legendary magazine Weird Tales in 1934, C. L. Moore’s Jirel of Joiry is fantasy’s first true strong female protagonist, as well as one of the most striking and memorable characters to come out of the golden age of science fiction and fantasy. Published alongside landmark stories by H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard, the six classic stories included in this volume prove that C. L. Moore’s Jirel is a rival to Conan the Barbarian and Elric of Melniboné, making Black God’s Kiss an essential addition to any fantasy library. “I was looking for tales of dire conflict, hot-blooded honor and impetuosity, leadership and courage—all the qualities that my culture told me were reserved for males . . . what a joy it was to run across Jirel, who at some levels of my soul I longed desperately to be.” —Suzy McKee Charnas, Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author

Download or read book Men of the Deep Waters written by William Hope Hodgson and published by DigiCat. This book was released on 2022-08-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 'Men of the Deep Waters,' William Hope Hodgson presents a stirring anthology of nautical tales, brimming with the spectral aura of the unknown and the profound dread and allure of the sea. This collection delivers an array of narratives as deep and mysterious as the waters themselves, penned in a literary style that is as evocative as it is exceptional. Set against the literary context of the early 20th century, when tales of adventure and supernatural were widely savored, Hodgson's work reflects a hybrid genre that combines maritime lore with eerie suspense, illustrating his prowess and commanding a distinct place in fantastical literature. Each story weaves a haunting portrayal of the ocean's inscrutable depths, portraying sailors and the boundless sea with chilling effect. William Hope Hodgson, with his mariner background, used his extensive sea-faring experience to infuse authenticity into his narratives. The dread and admiration Hodgson held for the sea is palpable in this collection. His life at sea began as a teenager, and it was these formidable years that shaped his literary creations. His ability to evoke the mystique of the ocean and its simultaneous capacity for beauty and terror is a testament to his personal journey. Menacing sea creatures and eldritch occurrences in 'Men of the Deep Waters' are a metaphorical sublimation of Hodgson's own encounters and reflections upon the mighty expanse of the oceans. 'Men of the Deep Waters' is recommended for readers who appreciate the confluence of maritime adventure and the supernatural. The book is a fine example of how literary art can transcend mere entertainment, offering a deep dive into the profound fears and reverences humanity holds for the sea. This literary gem is looking to captivate the imagination of readers, just as the impenetrable deep has long captured the souls of seafarers. Hodgson's work remains a must-read for aficionados of the genre and those interested in the psychological interplay between man and the natural world.

Book excerpt: Let's face it. About seventy-five percent of the world is covered in water - and of that water nearly ninety-seven percent of it can be found in the sea. Maritimers will tell you that there is a story for every wave that has ever washed upon the shoreline. Here are seven of them. "In the Dark and the Deep" offers a very haunting yarn of World War 2 convoy duty and a sailor who made and kept a terrible bargain. "Harry's Mermaid" introduces you to a group of homeless men who catch something that MIGHT be a mermaid. If that doesn't tell you enough about this story just try and imagine what Steinbeck's CANNERY ROW would read like if it had been written by HP Lovecraft. "I Know Why The Waters of the Sea Taste of Salt" is a tale of an Okinawa-based Japanese Air Force suicide pilot and his encounter with a sea monster - of sorts. "Finbar's Story" is a dark fantasy tale of the deeper currents that eddy and flow within the deep quiet currents of a man's cold heart. "The Woman Who Lost Her Tooth From Laughing Too Loudly At The Sea" is a quiet little fable of salt water, tears and regret. "Between You-Know-Who and the Deep Dark Blue" is a story of the very last bargain on earth.

Max has made powerful enemies who will stop at nothing to hunt him down and stuff his skull into a trophy case. The smartest thing would be to get as far away as he can, fast. Yet there's a village of goblins asking for his help and they're offering something tantalizing in return: an airship. Should Max try to be a hero, even though he knows his win over the paladin was a fluke? Should he risk his bony neck on the off chance he can score a sweet low mileage propeller-driven dream? Will he find some half-decent gear that he can actually wear? Or will it all come crashing down?
