A review by codalion
Jirel of Joiry by C.L. Moore

3.0

A weird, fun cross between trashy narmy oldschool sword & sorcery (*how* many men want to tame the unconquerable Jirel already?) and HPL-ish weird fiction. I liked "Black God's Kiss" and "Hellsgarde" the most; "The Black Land" wasn't bad either; "Black God's Shadow" was a tad repetitive, and "Jirel Meets Magic" bizarre and meandering but kind of fun (and gay). Definitely read it for the imaginative imagery and weirdness, not depth of plot.
