Songs of the Dying Earth is a literary fiction book.
Jack Vance is such an iconic figure in the development of modern fantasy that it is almost impossible to imagine the genre we know today without him. During his more than 50-year career, he has published dozens of major novels, as well as anthologies filled with masterfully crafted stories, winning the Hugo Award, Nebula Award, Edgar Award, The Grand Master of Science Award. American fiction writer and several Fantasy World Awards, including the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award.

Vance’s masterpiece, The Dying Earth, may be the most influential fantasy novel of the 20th century, second only to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy. Not only has it inspired generations of fantasy writers, from Gene Wolfe and Michael Moorcock to Neil Gaiman and George R.R. Martin, whose influence extends to graphic novels, comic books, fantasy role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and even computer gaming.

The anthology Songs of the Dying Earth brings together one of the most celebrated groups of authors ever – including Dan Simmons, Neil Gaiman, George R. R. Martin, Paula Volsky, Mike Resnick, Robert Silverberg, Lucius Shepard, Tad Williams, Tanith Lee, Liz Williams, Glen Cook, and eleven other famous writers – to write stories that celebrate the genius Jack Vance, stories that use a beautiful and gloomy distant future setting strangeness of the dying Earth, near the end of the Earth’s life, where mighty wizards duel with spells of terrifying power under the waning and almost burning red sun, and adventurers and spoilers trying to trick and fool each other in haunted forests full of ghosts and strange monsters that are almost incomprehensible.

Authors include George R. R. Martin (editor and author), Gardner Dozois (editor), Dan Simmons, Neil Gaiman, Paula Volsky, Mike Resnick, Robert Silverberg, Lucius Shepard, Tanith Lee, Liz Williams, Jeff VanderMeer, Kage Baker, Elizabeth Moon, Elizabeth Hand, Walter Jon Williams, Howard Waldrop, John C. Wright and Glen Cook. Foreword by Jack Vance.
