  The journey towards Arioch's domain was so vivid, so many great scenes. I am re-reading this series (through the audio dramatizations, Knight and Bull and the Spear were my favourite Corum books earlier) Mike Mignola did the comic adaptation of this book early in his career and it is excellent as well.

  Wow. I came home today to find a copy of the book beautifully wrapped having arrived ! After the initial suspicious stare from my long suffering better half during which the words " have you bought another Michael Moorcock book ?" were answered with an honest reply of " I don't think so, this time..." And then noticed the cool BITR sticker. This is amazing !!!! Thank you so much, it sounds amazing from the podcast and it's shot right to the top of the "to be read next" list. Thank you so much once again. I'm looking forward to starting it this week and am planning on sitting in the garden with a suitable beer....or two.

  Finally had a long drive today to listen to this in the car on the way back from picking up the eldest from Leeds and Uni for Easter. Loved this, I never knew about these books and they sound awesome. The idea of the band as heroes in a post apocalyptic realm is such a good idea of inspiration for rpg's . I've scuttled off to look at Rock Opera 79, the Lucid Eye minis Comeback tour range and, for fellow online/music strangeness The Night Begins to Shine by B.E.R from the cartoon series Teen Titans Go. :)

  Oh this is very timely and much appreciated. Id owned the Granada editions of what I thought were the complete Elric books in the early 80s when id first found Moorcock and the Stormbringer RPG and of course the Melnibonean mythos in the 1st ed A D and D deities and demigods book and just hearing about the clakar and the most giant etc transported me back to a gentler and less stressful time. I know now I didn't have the full Elric roster by any means and I still don't now but I did dig them out for a shelfie and discovered to my horror I must have lent out the Granada Elric of Melnibone. Cue a panicked impulse buy on eBay last week. Moonglum remains my fave eternal companion along with Jhary and painted citadel minis of the pair of them have been shoved into d and d and rq and other games intentionally over the years in different campaigns and with different players. Some knew, some found out. When I discovered your podcast on KZread last year it prompted me to reread Corum. Now, once I've finished a brilliant book about how Judge Dredd accidently prophesied way more of the modern world than I'm comfy with it'll be a jaunt back into the young kingdoms. Thank you so much for the ongoing inspiration, memories and humour

  Thanks again for a highly entertaining reading of a novel I might find irritating. I like things with a beginning, a middle and an end, preferably in that order. But for some reason I adore Jerry Cornelius. I suppose that once I know a book is by Moocock I open my mind, though when you review a book I invariably find I have missed much of the point of it. I won't elaborate, too embarrassing. For some reason the name Robert Sheckley is very familiar to me, I've no idea why. I like all your diversions and reminiscences. I've bought Rebel at the End of Time on Kindle. Thanks for that. I will make comments, no matter how naive, because Konstantin (Inside Russia) tells me that they are very helpful to people posting on KZread.

  One of your best. We took the old conflicts so seriously, Mary Long, the straights, Tony Blackburst's plastic grin. The grid has become ubiquitous and probably more benign than we feared, but we have new adversaries: Brexit, MAGA and the Orcs of Z. We so desperately need the Hawklords to burst out of the second ether in their silver machines amid howls of feedback to redeem us once again.

  It's 1974-ish, and I'm 12 years old. On the way to and from school I have to walk through the town centre, and the big W.H.Smith newsagent is open. It's one of those shops on a corner with two entrances, so you can walk straight through it on the way. But being an avid reader of Science Fiction I stop at the paperback section, where I start seeing these Mayflower books with MOORCOCK in big white letters on a strange surrealistic cover. I read the back.They say Michael Moorcock is one of the formost writers of Science Fantasy, so I cautiously buy one, not really sure what I'm in for, since up until then I've only been reading Arthur C. Clarke, Brian Aldiss, and Isaac Asimov novels with spaceships by Chris Foss on the covers. The first book I get has a weird picture on the cover of the top of a man's head with a black jewel in his forehead. It's 25p which is probably my pocket money for a week, but my God it's worth it and I'm immediately hooked. Over the next few years I buy every Moorcock book I can get my hands on, some as soon as they appear in print, and he quickly becomes my absolute favourite author. That first book was of course The Jewel in the Skull.

I bought this novel (and still have it) on publication while on the way to school. It's an amusing read and is almost like a written Hawkwind album of the time (tail-end of the UA era). It even has a superb "album" cover!

  The motivation for Dr. Kimberley Fairchild to go on the mission was even zanier than you remember-she was going to use the fungus to extract gold from seawater, thereby debasing the South African economy which was based on the gold standard and use that as leverage to get her parents out of prison. Definitely a harebrained idea!

  Hope its ok to double comment? wouldn't normally but this is the first time I'd seen the new episode within a few minutes of it being posted :) Domain as a book is one I remember being introduced to by an older cousin and , and in particular the other James Herbert books, rats ,lair, the spear and the fog are books I associate with being a teenager in the 80s. They remind me of a time when my parents, my mum in particular, encouraged me to read anything that i got the chance to and even though I was given a copy of the rats when I was about 12 my mum and dad were ok with it. Like yourselves, I'm a bloke of a certain age (55 at the moment of writing this increasingly long and rambling comment) , grew up in the 80s listening to metal, playing d and d and every other rpg I could get my mitts on and being exposed to mass produced fantasy, war and horror paperbacks galore, especially Moorcock, Lovecraft , Sven Hassel and Leo Kessler and James Herbert. Not so much as a gift from a family member but more from trawling the second hand book stores that seemed to be in every indoor market, at every church jumble sale and in every seaside town we visited on family holidays. Your podcast is one I stumbled on about a year ago and its become my go to for listening to on long drives through linking my phone to my car and I first listened to the first book of Corum and have been hooked since. The combo of irreverence, humour, nostalgia, geeky in jokes, talking about world view of the writers then and how they sit now in terms of how we see things and the sheer range of tangents you all go of on are a joy. I laugh and I learn with every new listen. Whilst I can't indulge in the beers side of the podcasts as I am usually driving when I listen I have found myself more and more looking for odder beers when shopping and thinking about what beer might go best with what book read. I'm still working through the collection of podcasts and there's loads I've yet to have a chance to listen to so theres' loads still to be uncovered I'm sure. Would love to hear something about the Von Bek books at some point, particularly the warhound and the worlds pain and at the moment I'm trying to write a little rpg campaign drop in for one of my groups games based on that set up. Sorry......really did ramble on there! Thank you for the stuff you've done and the stuff you'll no doubt add, love the whole range of voices and contributors and the nostalgia which finds me thinking back to routing through piles of paperbacks in a little bookstore in Ormskirk Market or in a Southport back alley, to flicking through Kerrang, White Dwarf and Imagine, 2000ad and to begging/buying/borrowing copies of Chaosium's Elric themed games as a teen...and beyond! I once sat on a table for a meal at a posh wedding reception with James Herbert and got a terrible case of fanboi angst, couldn't speak and kept grinning like an idiot at him. I'm looking forward to enjoying the rest of this podcast later today whilst on the road. Cheers :)
