Talk about ironic... A horror almost as ancient as the universe itself is stirring after its centuries-long slumber. As it wakes, it sends out millions of demonic Minions who threaten to overrun Hell and destroy all life in their path. The only ones standing between them and Earth are the creatures of the Abyss and another, darker race, that also seeks to escape from the invaders. As they war against each other and the Minions, they are slowly but surely being driven from their homelands. In order to keep Earth from being devoured by the Beast, Arka-Dal and his friends must enter the Abyss and find a way to unite and fight alongside the very demons and monsters he had condemned to fight this eternal war... In short, the Demonslayer now must become the Demon Savior! Chaos Ascendant takes the reader on a wild, action packed ride through tortured landscapes and the lowest planes of Hell itself. It is a must read for all fans of high fantasy and the author's famed Thulian Chronicles series.

Hoffmann is among the greatest and most popular of the German Romantics. This selection, while stressing the variety of his work, puts in the foreground those tales in which the real and the supernatural are brought into contact and conflict. The humour of these tales is a result of the incongruity of supernatural beings at large in an ostentatiously everyday world. They include The Golden Pot, recognized as Hoffmann's masterpiece by himself and posterity; its spine-chilling companion tale, The Sandman, which Offenbach drew on for his opera Tales of Hoffmann, and which Freud examines in his essay `The Uncanny'; two longer and more elaborate fantasies, set respectively in Germany and Italy; and the late story, My Cousin's Corner Window, which shows the powers of the imagination being applied to everyday urban life, and marks a transition in European literature generally from Romanticism to Realism. Ritchie Robertson's detailed introduction places the stories in their intellectual and historical context and explores their compelling narrative complexities.
