- Elric: To Rescue Tanelorn
- Elric: The Sleeping Sorceress
- Duke Elric
- Elric In the Dream Realms
- Elric Swords and Roses
which seem to comprise a lot of stories, but I am not able to connect them completely to the rest of Moorcock lore.
For example the first one contains:
THE STEALER OF SOULS - The Dreaming City
- While the Gods Laugh
- The Stealer of Souls
- Kings in Darkness (with James Cawthorn)
- The Caravan of Forgotten Dreams (originally titled The Flame Bringers)
MISSION TO ASNO!
STORMBRINGER
Does anybody know how these books are connected to the rest ?
Thanks !

I have all of these, too, and they offer a great selection of stories dealing with Elric. They're available in different incarnations, and have been so over many years.
For example, I have the original Lancer editions of Stormbringer and The Stealer of Souls. Some of the Elric books were later issued by DAW.
Just read then in order and you should have loads of fun. I haven't read them in years, but I remember how much fun those two Lancer titles were when I was hungering for something similar to Edgar Rice Burroughs, Otis Adelbert Kline, Robert E. Howard, Lin Carter, and L. Sprague de Camp.
That's about all I can tell you.
