World Fantasy Award for Best Novel (1978)
Middle-aged San Francisco horror writer Franz Westen is rediscovering ordinary life following a long alcoholic binge. Then one day, peering at his apartment window from atop a nearby hill, he sees a pale brown thing lean out his windowβ¦and wave.
This encounter sends Westen on a quest through ancient books and modern streets, for the dark forces and paramental entities that thrive amidst the towering skyscrapers of modern urban lifeβ¦and meanwhile, the entities are also looking for him.
A pioneering work of modern urban fantasy, Our Lady of Darkness is perhaps Fritz Leiberβs greatest novel.
