If someone else has said that this is disappointing, sub-par or not well-received, then, they are right. Absolutely below average. (Average story rating, 2.8) Not sure what the editor was thinking, but having a bunch of writer joke Jerry Cornelius stories in what is ostensibly on the surface suggested to be an Elric collection = very bad idea. Throw in Glogauer, and even worse. Likely to annoy everyone, then.

A chaos demon tricks a callow Hawkmoon into confronting another Champion, but Urlik's recognition leads this to backfire, but not without cost.

A wizard and his servant lay a trap for Elric. Yeah, mistake. Neither he nor Moonglum are what you call slow on the uptake.

Even Elric is a little taken aback by cavalier griffin duo's comedy act, cat woman, and computer skeletons.
