The Complete Kane by Karl Edward Wagner

Centipede Press mentioned recently that publication of the five volume Kane set by Karl Edward Wagner is imminent.

We have a few extra sets available. This may be your final chance to own a landmark sword-and-sorcery series by one of the genre's most beloved authors.

Notes:

  • There is a limit of one set per person/household.
  • Each set, packed, weighs roughly ten pounds. Shipping costs are going to hurt.

About the Book:

Kane, the mystic swordsman—an immortal, flame-haired sorcerer-warrior, cursed by an insane elder god to walk the Earth until eventually destroyed by the violence that he himself created.

Created by award-winning author and editor Karl Edward Wagner while he was still attending medical school, the most exciting and intelligent sword & sorcery series ever written is finally given the showcase it deserves with these stunning new illustrated editions from Centipede Press.

This handsome set of five hardcovers includes the three main Kane novels:

  • Dark Crusade
  • Bloodstone
  • Darkness Weaves

Along with the two volumes of short fiction:

  • Death Angel’s Shadow
  • Night Wind

You finally have a chance to own meticulously proofread texts, with the short stories presented in the long-desired chronological order, with all of the poems, fragments, and later stories.

Each book has a handsome photograph of Karl Edward Wagner (some never published) from the period, and each book also reprints the original Warner Bros paperback edition cover so you have, finally, the complete Kane, presented the way the author intended, with each book individually illustrated.

This second printing is limited to 500 numbered sets, sans slipcase. Death Angel’s Shadow has archival artwork and a poem which did not appear in the first printing.
