Original CoverAuthorEric Rücker EddisonIllustratorKeith HendersonCountryUKLanguageEnglishSeriesThe Zimiamvian SeriesGenre(s)Fantasy novelPublisherJonathan CapePublication date1922Media typePrint (Hardback)Pagesxiv, 448 ppISBNNAThe Worm Ouroboros (1922) is a heroic high fantasy novel by Eric Rücker Eddison. The book describes the protracted war between the domineering King Gorice of Witchland and the Lords of Demonland in an imaginary world that appears mainly medieval and partly reminiscent of Norse sagas.
A half-finished framing story describes this world as Mercury, though it is clearly a fantasy version of Earth, a "secondary world"; no effort was made to conform to the scientific knowledge of Mercury as it existed at the time of writing (the world even has a moon, which Mercury does not). At a number of points the characters refer to their land as Middle earth, used here in its original sense of "the known world", and the gods worshipped have the names of deities from Greek mythology. The framing device disappears a few paragraphs into the second chapter, and Eddison never refers to it again.
The work is slightly related to Eddison's later Zimiamvian Trilogy, and collectively they are sometimes referred to as the Zimiamvian series.

Welcome Worm Ouroboros. Dark purchased the site from Bunkerjoe a while ago. We never got around to changing the email. I guess I will have to work on that this weekend.

Glad you decided to join. It's a nice community here, lots of laughs and info exchanged.
