Seventeen fantasies by one of the field's most prolific short story authors, including tales of...mad gods, specters returning from the beyond, inexplicable enigmas from outer space, a romantic and surreal interlude of the legendary madman, Tom O'Bedlam, time travel to allow an irate professor to settle the Shakespearean authorship controversy, and the King Arthur legend--plus genuinely frightening horror, including the celebrated story, "The Dead Kid."
To say that THE EMPEROR OF THE ANCIENT WORD is a diverse collection would be an understatement. There is horror on display. There is also whimsy. There is fantasy. There is dark fantasy. There are stories that would be right at home in a Sixties suspense anthology
