A collection of supernatural horror stories from the SFWA Grand Master and Hugo and Nebula Award–winning author of the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser novels. Assembled here by editors John Pelan and Steve Savile, The Black Gondolier & Other Stories collects Fritz Leiber's best horrific tales, many of which have been virtually unobtainable for decades. From the riveting "Spider Mansion" and "The Phantom Slayer" from Weird Tales to later works "Lie Still, Snow White" and "Black Has Its Charms" from rare, small‑press magazines, this collection provides an overview of Leiber's fifty‑plus years as an acknowledged master of the weird tale.
