''Jirel of Joiry'' is a collection of five fantasy stories by C. L. Moore, often characterized as sword and sorcery. The volume compiles all but one of Moore's stories featuring the title character, a female warrior in an imagined version of medieval France. All the stories were published in ''Weird Tales'' during the 1930s. After being published as a paperback original by Paperback Library in 1969, the collection was reissued by Ace Books in the 1980s and 1990s. Donald M. Grant published an illustrated hardcover edition in 1977, under the title ''The Black God's Kiss''. In 2007, a British omnibus combining ''Jirel of Joiry'' with Moore's "Northwest Smith" stories appeared as ''Black Gods and Scarlet Dreams''. An expanded edition, also titled ''Black God's Kiss'', was published by Paizo Publishing in 2007. ==Contents== * "Jirel Meets Magic" (''Weird Tales'' 1935) * "Black God's Kiss" (''Weird Tales'' 1934) * "Black God's Shadow" (''Weird Tales'' 1934) * "The Dark Land" (''Weird Tales'' 1936) * "Hellsgarde" (''Weird Tales'' 1939) A sixth story, "Quest of the Starstone", written in collaboration with Henry Kuttner, teamed Jirel with Moore's science fiction hero "Northwest Smith." It was finally collected with the other Jirel stories in the 2007 ''Black God's Kiss''.〔(Index to Science Fiction Anthologies and Collections )〕〔(Bibliography: Quest of the Starstone )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jirel of Joiry (collection)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
