Ship of Shadows
A collection of stories.
FABULOUS VOYAGER...
Fritz
Leiber, America's finest fantasist, is the winner of six Hugo Awards and three Nebula Awards. In this award winning new collection you can be
transported to a shadowy alternate reality where Germany won the Second
World War; watch a man play dice with the devil; sail in the farthest
realms of dark imagining, or observe a war being fought back and forth
across time on a shuttle of shifting and uncertain reality...
These are tales of humour and horror, invention and enchantment, conjuring us into the incomparable universe of Fritz Leiber, a fabulous voyager in
the incandescent world of his own imagining.
