Purchase options and add-ons

With her red hair flowing, her yellow eyes glinting like embers, and her face streaked with blood, Jirel is strong, fearless, and driven by honor. The fierce, proud, and relentless commander of warriors, standing tall above her enemies and simmering with rage, Jirel bids farewell to the world of treacherous men and walks through a forbidden door into Hell itself in pursuit of freedom, justice, and revenge.

These are the classic tales of blood and honor that catapulted C.L. Moore into the legendary ranks of such acclaimed writers as Robert E. Howard and Edgar Rice Burroughs in the golden age of sword and sorcery. First published in the magazine Weird Tales in the 1930s, Moore's fantastic medieval adventures are heightened by a savage, romantic vision that helped define the genre, earning her recognition as a Grand Master for lifetime achievement by the World Fantasy Convention.

Book Description

Classic SF from the golden age of the pulps, in a striking new edition! The collected tales of Jirel of Joiry - C.L. Moore's classic fantasy heroine.

About the Author

C.L. Moore (1911 - 1987)
Catherine Lucille Moore was born in Indianapolis in 1911. Prolonged illness when young meant she spent much of her time as a child reading the fantastic tales of the day, a background that no doubt spurred her on to become a writer of science fiction and fantasy herself. Moore made her first professional sale toWeird Tales while still in her early 20's: the planetary romance 'Shambleau', which introduced one of her best-known heroes Northwest Smith. She went on to produce a highly respected body of work, initially solo forWeird Tales and then, in collaboration with her husband, fellow SF writer Henry Kuttner, whom she married in 1940, for John W. Campbell'sAstoundingScience Fiction. Moore was one of the first women to rise to prominence in the male-dominated world of early SF, and paved the way for others to follow in her footsteps. Moore ceased to write fiction after Kuttner's death in 1958, concentrating instead on writing for television. She died in April 1987 after a long battle with Alzheimer's Disease.

    5.0 out of 5 starsGreat collection keeps classic stories alive.

    Contrary to what I expected, this includes all six Jirel of Joiry stories. The impression I got online was only one out-of-print collection did that, and that all others excluded the story C.L. Moore co-wrote with her then husband-to-be.

    4.0 out of 5 starsAn excellent collection of nightmarish horror stories and a feisty heroine
    Reviewed in India on 4 March 2023
    Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase
    Catherine Lucille Moore was one of the earliest and significant writers of science fiction and fantasy. She wrote stories primarily for the Weird Tales pulp magazine in the 1930's which also published stories by other writers like HP Lovecraft, Robert E Howard, Clark Ashton Smith, Seabury Quinn and many others.

    The Golden Age Masterworks " Jirel of Joiry" collects all the 6 fantasy horror stories written by Moore featuring the flame-haired heroine Jirel. The rule of Joiry castle, warmonger, a fighter with a fiery temper and an awesome character.

    The series of stories concerns Jirel adventuring in nightmarish lands either in pursuit of someone or in search of an artifact. If you prefer stories which have creepy imagination and dark themes, I highly recommend this collection.

    Reviewed in the United States on 21 October 2019
    Enjoyable read and more interesting in that it came from one of fantasy fiction's first female writers about one of the first female characters. Definitely recommend it.

    Reviewed in Germany on 30 November 2015
    Unter diesem Namen kenne ich die deutsche Fassung.
    Ja, man kann es lesen, wobei ich kein ausgewiesener Sword & Sorcery Fan bin.
    Auf englisch war die Geschichte keider zu mühsam zu lesen, man war so mit Übersetzen beschäftigt daß die geheimnisvolle Stimmug nicht
    transportiert wurde.
    Kurz zum Inhalt:
    Die Burg der schönen Jirel von Joiry wird von Guillaume, einem Adligen erobert.
    Gegen ihren Willen abgeknutscht und so gedemütigt benutzt sie einen Geheimgang in eine Unterwelt,
    um dort eine Waffe gegen den arroganten Macho zu finden.
    Das gelingt ihr, besser als sie gewollt hat...
