Coming Attraction - Paperback

Leiber, Fritz: - Fritz Leiber (1910-1992) was an American science fiction, fantasy, horror, and weird fiction writer whose career helped shape several major branches of twentieth-century speculative literature. Born into a theatrical family, Leiber brought a strong sense of performance, voice, atmosphere, and psychological tension to his fiction. He is best known in fantasy for creating Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser, central figures in sword-and-sorcery fiction, and in science fiction for stories and novels that combine sharp social observation with unease, wit, and intellectual control.Leiber's major works include Conjure Wife, Gather, Darkness!, The Big Time, Our Lady of Darkness, and the Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories. He won multiple Hugo, Nebula, and World Fantasy Awards, and his range made him one of the most important bridge figures between pulp fantasy, modern science fiction, urban horror, and literary speculative fiction. Coming Attraction shows his gift for using a compact premise to expose a whole diseased culture: masks, sexuality, violence, media display, war trauma, and social performance compressed into a single unsettling encounter.
