His writing runs the gamut from fairly standard fantasy fare to incredibly original and sometimes bizarre storytelling. Most people only know him for the Elric series, which is definitely worth checking out if you're into dark fantasy, but he's extremely prolific.

27. One of my all time favorites! |

God does not play dice with the universe: He plays an ineffable game of His own devising, which might be compared, from the perspective of any of the other players , to being involved in an obscure and complex variant of poker in a pitch-dark room, with blank cards, for infinite stakes, with a Dealer who won't tell you the rules, and who smiles all the time.
