A late-night conversation with Michael Moorcock about ELRIC: CITADEL OF FORGOTTEN MYTHS!

One of our favourite recurring guests, legendary fantasy author Michael Moorcock, returns to Forbidden Planet TV for a late-night conversation with Andrew Sumner about many things, beginning with the publication of his long-awaited Elric novel: The Citadel of Forgotten Myths.
Mike tells Sumner how he's feeling about his first new Elric tale for 12 years - before getting into a wide-ranging conversation about many things: the essence of creativity; the glorious elasticity of the human liver; Mike's dark times writing Byzantium Endures; the potentially corrosive effect of hero worship; Lewis Shiner's rock & roll novels; Lemmy's autobiography White Line Fever; hanging out at The Flamingo Club in 60s Soho; the brilliance of Georgie Fame & Zoot Money; Ian McLagan's autobiography All The Rage; Moorcock & Sumner's podcast series (Michael Moorcock's Multiverse) and Titan Comics' beautiful ongoing Michael Moorcock Library archive edition graphic novels.

Elric along with his companion Moonglum return, in this prequel set within the early days of Elric’s wanderings, in order to investigate the history of Melniboné and its dragons, known as the Phroon, in this exciting new addition to the Elric Saga from World Fantasy Lifetime Achievement Award winner Michael Moorcock.
Elric is the estranged emperor of the Melnibonéan empire, struggling with his nature while desperately striving to move forward with his dying empire alongside the constant thirst of his soul-sucking sword, Stormbringer.
