Captures the essence of man battling evil, with horror and magic ever nearby. The language, though specialized, draws you in to the world of this story. Won well-deserved Hugo and Nebula.

I must have read this in an anthology as a kid, but it is completely fresh in Harlan Ellison's Dangerous Visions anthology.
