Black Gods Kiss (Planet Stories
Library) by C. L. Moore
Excellent Book! Kudos To C.L. Moore!
First published in the pages of Weird Tales in 1934, C.L. Moores Jirel of
Joiry is the first significant female sword and sorcery protagonist and one
of the most exciting and evocative characters the genre has ever known.
Published alongside seminal works by H.P. Lovecraft and Robert E.
Howard, the five classic fantasy tales included in this volume easily stand
the test of time and often overshadow the storytelling power and emotional
impact of stories by Moores more famous contemporaries. A seminal work
from one of fantasys most important authors, Black Gods Kiss is an
essential addition to any fantasy library.
Personal Review: Black Gods Kiss (Planet Stories Library) by C.
L. Moore
I thoroughly enjoyed this book a lot! C.L. Moore and Robert E. Howard
both wrote for Weird Tales during the 1930's and both admired each others

work. I can understand why after reading Black God's Kiss. I didn't know
C.L. Moore was a woman until I read a letter posted on the internet where
she was asking REH for more stories of The Sword Woman because only
two stories ever written and left readers wanting more.
Jirel of Joiry is one tough woman who not only is beautiful, brave, a loyal
leader to her men, and smart! Rather than let her 20 or so men die at the
hand of her enemy she goes on a dangerous quest to find a small box to
return in exchange for their lives in Hellsgarde. All of the stories are
excellent but Hellsgarde is my favorite as it has quite of a bit of
supernatural, mystique, and more. I thought the inhabitants of the rock
castle were reptilian people but I sure was wrong.
This is a terrific book to read and lend to a friend.
