Introduction

ELRIC AT THE END OF TIME was the last story I wrote
about the albino prince. In some ways it's an affec-
tionate commentary on the kind of fantasy hero with
whom I'm most closely identified and it's also based
on the remark made some years ago by M. John
Harrison that the people who inhabit my End of
Time stories might, from Elric's perspective, seem to
be the very Lords of Chaos themselves. The story
brings together elements from most of the series
which, by the mid-seventies, I was completing. It
was finished in 1977, originally for a book which Big
O intended to publish and which Rodney Matthews
would illustrate. Big O effectively folded before the
book could appear. The Rodney Matthews paintings
all exist, but only a few of them have been seen
(principally in Rodney's own 1983 Calendar) which
is a great pity, since they represent some of his best
and most ambitious work. The only previous ap-
pearance of the story was in Terri Windling's and
Mark Arnold's Elsewhere anthology, which came out
in the USA in 1981.
