Elric, the brooding, self-loathing albino anti-hero who must rely on drugs and a vampiric sword for strength, has earned his status as the most well-loved of Moorcock's characters. Stealer of Souls is the first - and thus far, best - installment in an authoritative series of Elric reprints and related material. The seminal Elric stories, reprinted in the first half of this book, are enjoyable if disjointed, and a must have for any fan of Moorcock; however, Stormbringer, reprinted in the second half, is the most essential part of the Elric saga. Stormbringer is an epic sword-and-sorcery classic.
