The Classic Collection of Fritz Leiber. Five Books. Illustrated: Conjure wife, Destiny times three, The Sinful Ones, The Green Millennium, The Night of the Long Knives
Fritz Leiber, a Grand Master of science fiction, fantasy, and horror, was one of the most innovative and influential voices in speculative fiction. This illustrated classic collection gathers five of his most provocative and imaginative works, spanning genres and styles, while showcasing the depth of his storytelling and the sharpness of his psychological insight. In Conjure Wife, Leiber redefines modern witchcraft in a chilling tale of academic ambition, fear, and hidden magic. Often cited as one of the foundational horror novels of the 20th century, it presents a powerful, subversive look at gender, belief, and control. Destiny Times Three offers a mind-bending dive into parallel worlds and the consequences of altered timelines, reflecting Leiber’s fascination with identity and free will. The Sinful Ones, based on a story originally suppressed for its daring eroticism and dystopian tone, explores alienation in an increasingly mechanized world. Meanwhile, The Green Millennium combines humor and social satire in a story about a mysterious green cat and the strange power it exerts over human lives. Finally, The Night of the Long Knives plunges readers into a post-apocalyptic desert of violence and redemption, confronting existential questions through the lens of pulp science fiction. This collection captures Leiber’s extraordinary range—from psychological horror to speculative science fiction—and his unmatched ability to unsettle, provoke, and entertain. A must-have for collectors and new readers alike. Contents: • Conjure wife • Destiny times three • The Sinful Ones • The Green Millennium • The Night of the Long Knives
