About Tales from Atlantis, Volume I (Unabridged)

This collection includes three stories: "Atlantis": A haunting poem from the ghost-like underwater depths. "The Last Incantation": With inhuman solemnity, the voice of the necromancer went on in a priest-like chant until the last echoes died out in hollow, sepulchral vibrations. Then the colored vapors cleared away. But the pale, unearthly glow still filled the changer, and between Malygris and the door where hung the unicorn's head there stood the apparition of Nylissa! "The Death of Malygris": Groping along tortuous alleys, through blind caverns, and down subterranean halls and steps, 12 of the most-powerful sorcerers of Susran were brought together in a vault of oozing, death-gray granite, far beneath the foundations of the palace. The 12 sorcerers knew that the king had convened them only because of a matter supremely grave and secret. For a while, there was silence in the vault, and the 12, bowing deferentially, waited. Then, in a voice that was little more than a harsh whisper, the king spoke: "What know ye of Malygris?"
