Volume 3’s story, “The Tale of Plagues and Carnivals” written by Delany in 1984 flips between two diverse settings: the Nevèrÿon port city of Kolhari, a common setting in prior Nevèrÿon volumes, and the modern New York City circa 1983-1984 as it was dealing with the first and second years of the emerging AIDS crisis. Volume 3, Flight from Nevèrÿon, published in 1985, however, includes stories which deviate from the Nevèrÿon setting. Volumes one and two were entirely set within the fantasy world of Nevèrÿon - engineered by Delany for his sword and sorcery narrative to be a place just on the verge of science. Delany wrote his ambitious four-volume sword-and-sorcery Return to Nevèrÿon series beginning in 1978, with the first volume, Tales of Nevèrÿon. ![]()
