Night's Master by Tanith Lee presents a linked sequence of dark fantasy stories set in an ancient, unshaped Earth where demons rule from immense caverns beneath the surface. At the center stands Azhrarn, the powerful and capricious Lord of Night, whose interventions in human lives bring both exquisite marvels and terrifying ruin. Across deserts, jungles, and fantastical cities, mortals and supernatural beings alike are drawn into his intricate games of desire, fear, and fate. This edition of Night's Master also features interior and cover illustrations by George Barr, emphasizing its blend of mythic atmosphere, horror-tinged fantasy, and science-fictional strangeness.
