"One Life Furnished with Early Moorcock" by Neil Gaiman

That one was adapted into comic form by P. Craig Russell also!

To my knowledge the first book (Elric of Melnibone) is the only one that has any of the action taking place in Imrryr, but it has been a while since I've read some of them.

Wasn't there a rpg book put out back in the day about it? I think it was a Elric the rpg game but it could have been Stormbringer rpg.

I seem to remember running a D&D game with it when my planes hopping pc's zigged left when they should have gone right.

These are the first 3 fantasy books I read back in 1981-82. In that order too, I think. Before that it was Stephen King. Elric won me over. I was a huge fan for years. Not so much anymore. Now I like Hawkmoon and Corum better. I re-read the Hawkmoon series and the Corum series every few years or so. I've never gone back to Elric. I've tried, but I get a few pages in and I lose interest...

Cugel. The Dying Earth (1950) was very good. I read two more books in the saga and I didn't care for them at all. When it comes to Earth-at-its-end, I prefer Zothique
