Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Viriconium Nights for White Dwarf #70, and stated that "They have a precise, exotic sleaziness, leaving you with uncomfortable images: insect-masks recur, and the Mari Llwyd (the rib-boned horse-skull of folklore), and technological decay (as with the unforgettable, filthy power-weapon of the first story). I like them. I think."[1]
