A Cowboy in Carpathia: A Bob Howard Adventure

Just finished Prehistoric Adventures. The story Dinosaur Destroyer was my favorite and well worth the price of admission.

For those who are Howard fans, his story Spear and Fang also appears in this anthology. I don't think I own that one in any other book.

Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Vol 2

Dinosaur Destroyer by Arthur Petticolas in Prehistoric Adventures is so good.

Blood + Pearls is a hard book to find. Never seen one in the flesh.

I love the Black Cauldron! Is it your first time reading it?That series and the Narnia books were my introduction to Fantasy.

Mr. Cannyharme: A Novel of Lovecraftian Terror by Michael Shea.

Sometime Lofty Towers



I am really enjoying this. I heartily recommend it.

Deuce Richardson did a nice write up about The Religion by Tim Willocks awhile back.

If they would do a reprint of #2, I have money 💰 in hand. Just sayin.

@ David

I’ve been eyeing that particular one for some time.

Interesting

The Cosmic Courtship by Julian Hawthorne

Thank you Seth.

I honestly thought that the prevalence of female protagonists was somehow tied to the empress in the synopsis blurb, or at the very least the mummified female captain the Emissary finds...

It is a very odd coincidence so many wrote a female protagonist w/o some larger design.
