About this Series

Legendary author Michael Moorcock, whose work has inspired authors from Neil Gaiman to Alan Moore, Brandon Sanderson to Michael Chabon, spins a swashbuckling adventure spanning post-World War II London and a hidden, parallel city. This unique blend of memoir and fantasy introduces the Sanctuary of Alsacia, a place where reality and fantasy blur, where characters from history and legend mingle, and where the semi-autobiographical Michael Moorcock retreats from reality. Ingeniously interweaving a history of the modern fantasy genre with fantasy itself, The Sanctuary of the White Friars is a series unlike anything else, a showcase of Moorcock’s boundless talents.

“A complex and beautiful book…with an unusually adult perspective on fantasy as nostalgia for what never was and cannot be again.” – Kirkus Reviews on The Whispering Swarm
