Notes
Fix-up novel. The original stories were published in fanzines Night Voyages, Dragonbane, Phantasy Digest and Dark Fantasy,and were completely rewritten for novel publication.
The chapters are titled:
- Turkhana Knives
- The Place of Stones
- Slaves of the Giant-Kings
- Horror in the Black Hills
- The City of Madness
The Night Shade Books edition excludes
The Slaves of the Giant-Kings which the author felt held too many parallels to the present day Rwandan Genocide. A new story,
The Afua, replaces it.[
