About this listen

First published in the pages of Weird Tales in 1934, C. L. Moore's 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 Moore's more famous contemporaries. A seminal work from one of fantasy's most important authors, Black God's Kiss is an essential addition to any fantasy library.

Jirel is one of the oldest female fantasy protagonists in the genre. She is fiercely independent and proud.

The character is also flawed with a bad taste in men, and many of the stories is how she will not let just anyone have their way with her. Letting her fiery temper set her on a path of adventure and personal freedom.

Classic feminine fantasy
