Michael Moorcock is a prolific English writer of mostly fantasy since about 1960. He started as a teenager doing Edgar Rice Burroughs pastiches, then his own multiple series of fantasy, notably Elric of Melniboné. Several others, including Corum, Hawkmoon and Jerry Cornelius, followed. Moorcock tied all of them together into his own multiverse, long before Marvel thought of it. All the heroes were aspects of the "Eternal Champion", whose adventures often paralleled each other, and they sometimes encountered each other.
He became editor of the magazine New Worlds and encouraged and contributed to the "New Wave" of SF in the 60s and 70s. Later he was acclaimed for his more literary works, like Mother London.

Elric of Melniboné
The Elric stories, published intermittently throughout his career, were Moorcock's first consequential work. At their heart lies the albino melancholic Elric of Melniboné, a treacherous figure who is in a sense the minion of his own supernatural Chaos-inducing sword. The tales comprise a sustained critique and parody of the Sword-and-Sorcery brand of heroic fantasy.

The Elric saga was written over more than 60 years beginning with "The Dreaming City" (1961). The most recent entry “The Folk of the Forest” (2023). These were not written in chronological order. Moorcock revised and reordered and presented the stories in many different forms.


We have two fairly comprehensive collections of the Elric stories:
