Viriconium by M. John Harrison

3.0

The Pastel City (Very Cool monsters and Tomb rocked!!! So did the old man. For some reason I like the old technology in this one.)
-
A Storm of Wings (Very cool plot and big ideas, long parts of surreal gibberish made me want to give up. Overall not bad.)
-
In Viriconium (Absurdist, but I wasn't expecting it to be. No big plots here just very strange occurrences and characters.)
-
The Lamia and Lord Cromis (Not bad, like the idea of a monster that must be killed by each son in a line of succession like a blood feud)
-
Viriconium Knights (Terrible, self indulgent crap. Same characters, same meaningless dribble. No plot.)
-
The Luck in the Head (Verisimilitude is there but still no plot. Colorful.)
-
Strange Great Sins (Not much of a plot, but at least it was short.)
-
Lords of Misrule (Again nice writing, very real but no plot.)
-
The Dancer from the Dance (Again nice writing, very real but no plot.)
-
A Young Man's Journey to Viriconium (At least this one was different. About people in modern world trying to get to Viriconium.)
