This collection contains the novels Elric of Melniboné, The Fortress of the Pearl, The Sailor on the Seas of Fate, and The Weird of the White Wolf. Elric of Melniboné is a very different story to what I have ever read previously. The writing feels somewhat strange, but I find it rather appealing, the way that characters talk in a very fantasy way to me, pulp fantasy you could call it. Things also just tend to happen in the story. A giant butterfly monster appears out of nowhere? Ok Elric can deal with this. A boat appears and transport Elric across time and dimensions? Sure lets see what happens. Its all very weird and I enjoy it quite a bit even if it can be difficult to explain or understand. Also, Elric is an interesting character, and seeing the way he views and goes about things is enjoyable to read, even if often his solution to any problem is to call upon some deity to solve it for him. Out of the 4 novels contained within The Weird of the White Wolf is my least favorite, maybe it is because it was the first few Elric stories put together and the way he wrote the character hadn't formed into how he did for the 3 novels preceding it chronologically. The shift of events from Sailor on the Seas of Fate to The Weird of the White Wolf was very sudden, to the point where I had to look up forums to see if I had missed something that explained Elric's actions. Even then though, the story was still very enjoyable to read, if just less so that the preceding stories. If you're interested in reading some old school pulpy fantasy that I'd highly recomend Elric of Melniboné.
