Exorcisms and Ecstasies

Karl Edward Wagner was one of the genre's finest practitioners of horror & dark fantasy. His untimely death in 1994 robbed the field of one of its major talents. As a writer, editor & publisher he was a multiple winner of The World Fantasy & British Fantasy Awards. Just prior to his death, Wagner finished compiling a fourth collection of his fiction, to be titled EXORCISMS & ECSTASIES. With this current volume, his friend & colleague Stephen Jones has combined the author's original selection of stories with all his uncollected work to create an impressive tribute. Along with stories of modern horror & twisted sexuality, here are also the fantastic adventures of the warrior-sorcerer Kane & dark gunslinger Adrian Becker, EXORCISMS & ECSTASIES includes reminiscences by friends & fellow writers including Peter Straub, Ramsey Campbell, Brian Lumley, David Drake, James Wagner, & David J. Schow, an exclusive photo section & an extensive bibliography of all Karl Edward Wagner's books & stories published in the English language.
