    5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Sci-Fi horror
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 September 2007
    Verified Purchase
    This is a collection of stories with one central character, Northwest Smith, who manages to get in the most bizarre situations with some of the galaxy's most malevolent creatures. Interwoven with the space-opera segments is the story of Jirelle, a dark ages french noblewoman/warrior, who, to avenge an imagined insult, unleashes an horrifying supernatural punishment on the man she thinks she hates. The stories are full of strange characters, alternate dimensions and grisly situations, but CL Moore writes in an almost poetic idiom, passingly similar to CS Lewis in 'Perelandra' and 'Out of the silent planet', but with her own very well developed ability to visualise and verbalise a situation. This is a cracking good read from the golden age of Sci-Fi, well told, and with enough creepy bits to make you re-visit the book again and again; I've had my copy since 1972,and it's now too threadbare to continue reading, so I've purchased it again, this time 2 copies so I always have one spare!

    3.0 out of 5 stars Of historic interest only, except for the title story
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 October 2020
    While there's a lot to like about this collection, and while the title-story is a minor classic of SF-horror, C.L. Moore's initially impressive use of language (Lovecraftian in its ornateness and its shaping of inhuman horrors) soon began to weary this reader. Sequences of wandering through dreamlike hallways and nightmare landscapes just seem to go on far too long, without any actual benefit to the story. The two Joiry stories are structurally similar and would have surely benefitted from editing into one piece, while the North West Smith stories suffer from a huge lack of characterization.
    So, read "Shambleau" (the story) but persevere with the rest of this book only if you have a completist interest in the history of 50s SF.

    5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best C. L. Moore stories ever written
    Reviewed in the United States on 3 April 2013
    Verified Purchase
    C. L. Moore created one of the best sci-fi stories ever in Shambleau, and she created one of the best vehicles to tell a string of magical stories in the character of Northwest Smith. Her stories were written so that they wrapped you in her emotions and feelings for her characters so that they became unforgettable.
