A new Moorcock interview appears The Edge #10. A new column, ‘Prairie Memories’, is in our new issue

The Edge’s Michael Moorcock Pages

The mercurial one appears in each new issue of The Edge. What’s here, and what’s coming (for there are items to add to this page) is mostly from out of print back issues or exclusive to the site. Details of available back issues are here with, and info on how to order the next issue is here

We’ll also be using this page as a guide to Moorcock online. For now, check Fantastic Metropolis, an SF and fantasy website which is the other publication Mike contributes to regularly. He has fiction and an editorial there. You should also look at Moorcock's Weekly Miscellany, planned to be a more or less weekly letter from Mike, which can be found on the front page of the new version of Michael Moorcock's Multiverse

 

 

 FICTION

The Spencer Inheritance
A Jerry Cornelius Story
by Michael Moorcock

The extraordinary story was first published in The Edge #7 (sorry, we have no copies). Following which, it was reprinted in Tony White’s anthology, britpulp! without an acknowledgement - that’s Sceptre paperbacks for you! Read it here for free instead

 

Cheering for the Rockets

Another recent story featuring Jerry Cornelius. After which you might also want to check out Firing the Cathedral, Mike’s new Cornelius novella from PS Publishing (see The Edge’s links section)

 

 

NON-FICTION

Interview

A long, substantial interview from The Edge #2, 1996, covering classic Moorcock themes of the mid-late 90s and of his whole career, from transport to politics. A later interview will also appear here, later; that’s not the one in the next issue

 

The Heart of Texas

A progress (not) report from Texas (and the UK, for that matter), written in 2000. First appeared in Red Pepper magazine

 

Bug Jack Barron

Norman Spinrad’s classic novel and the legendary New Worlds magazine

 

Last Hope for the Nation

The Edge’s coverage of the last-ditch attempt to save Texas and the Union from Baby Bush

 

 

The Edge’s reviews

 

Fabulous Harbours

Moorcock's sequel to Blood, featuring Jerry Cornelius, Elric, and characters based on Sexton Blake and Hank Janson; something of an extravaganza. A wonderful collection of linked novellas

 

King of the City

The Edge’s review of maybe the best Moorcock book of all. Sprawling, Dickensian extracts from earlier versions appeared in The Edge (new series) #1 and #2, and others are due to go up here

 

The War Amongst The Angels

The Edge’s review of ‘a sort of fictional auto-biography involving time-travelling highwaymen’; an extract appeared in The Edge #3, which we might reproduce here
