Welcome to the website!
I guess you all know why we’re here
Further explanation is therefore not required. Nonetheless, I’m glad that you’re here, and
wish to remind you that this site has been cutting the mustard and serving you admirably
since March 11, 2009.
“Black God’s Kiss,” another Fantasy story by Moore, concerns itself with one Jirel, who,
although apparently quite religious, opts to forsake salvation and retire to the darker
recesses of hell to obtain a suitable weapon to kill her arrogant captor. It’s an incredible
premise, to say the least. The hell is accessed by means of a strange tunnel, the origin of
which happens to lie directly beneath Jirel’s castle. The tunnel curves in such a way that it
might “lead through poly-dimensional space as well as through the underground” (p.107).
Once inside the subterranean hell, she encounters such oddities as a tower composed of
pure light, and, in contrast, a temple built of somehow tangible nothingness. There are no
explanations here – just observations.
Please note the eerie, unplanned similarity:
