ABOUT THIS BOOK: This new collection of stories returns us to the strange, haunting, mutable world of Viriconium and its citizens. Viriconium is a city of the imagination, a place in which the familiar and the utterly strange mingle together. Everything in Viriconium is subject to change, even its name: in one story it is Vriko; in another Uroconium. Sometimes its inhabitants' pursuits are relatively conventional, as in "The Llama and Lord Cromis", where a hero must fulfill his destiny by destroying a Beast, re-enacting a conflict a hundred generations old. Other tales--such as "Strange Great Sins", in which a sin-eater must lift the burden of sin from a dead girl's soul--create their own, wholly original world. M. John Harrison is a writer of resonant and individual imagination, whose stories, written in prose of unusual beauty and precision, offer unique pleasures.(Publisher). Seller Inventory # 14791
