Wikipedia article




'Viriconium Nights' is a collection by M. John Harrison published in 1984.

Plot summary



'Viriconium Nights' is a collection of seven stories set in and around the metropolis of Viriconium.

Reception



Dave Langford reviewed 'Viriconium Nights' for 'White Dwarf' #70, and stated that "They have a precise, exotic sleaziness, leaving you with uncomfortable images: insect-masks recur, and the Mari Llwyd (the rib-boned horse-skull of folklore), and technological decay (as with the unforgettable, filthy power-weapon of the first story). I like them. I think."
