Fire and Sleet and Candlelight is a poetry anthology edited by August Derleth. The title was suggested to Derleth by Lin Carter and is taken from the Lyke-Wake Dirge. For this companion volume to Dark of the Moon: Poems of Fantasy and the Macabre, Derleth included only living poets or poems that had not been previously published.
