Of course none of the ones I mentioned are strictly S&S
Richard Lee Byers has his novella Arrival. I believe it’s called the Taint?
Barbara Hambly has her Darwath series. There isn’t a plague, but the humans have to hunker down and hide after dark.
The Acts of Caine series was grimdark before the term was coined.
Blade of Tyshalle by Matthew Stover is the only one that comes to my mind. His entire Caine series is awesome.
Death's Sting--Where Art Thou?: A Heroic Anthology of Immortal Protagonists
Just finished RBE's newest!
I believe bated is correct. But Uncle Google and Wikipedia say both ways are correct.I've recently seen a lot of folks praising Tim Powers lately so I found this audio book from the library. Slow to grab my attention but it's shaping up nicely.
On Stranger Tides
I liked the first The Best of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly: Volume 1, 2009-2011 that I decided to pick up the second, The Best of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly: Volume 2, 2011-2013: Best of HFQ Volume 2!
Not really sure where the plow horse comes into it. The character was a ferryman not a farmer. *shrugs*I don't think this book was ever reprinted or republished either.
I forgot to mention this when I was reading it, but on page 217 and 218 this happened.
Bottom of page 217
"Dunsan shoved the sword back into its scabbard, slamming for the plow horse he did not have, he found his sword."
Top of page 218
"against the scabbard lip. Wrapping it back in its cloth, he put the sword back into the chest and closed the lid."
What the heck is going on here?!?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lol
I can’t wait for my copy of Twilight of the Gods to arrive! I only wish I could get Scott Oden to sign it and the others I have written by him.
The Best of Heroic Fantasy Quarterly: Volume 1, 2009-2011 was a good read. I'm really glad Christian brought it up earlier in the feed or otherwise I wouldn't have known about it. Solid collection. Shattering of the Spear by P. Djeli Clark was perhaps my favorite. It was a Sword and Soul similar to Imaro.Onward to StoryHack Action & Adventure, Issue Five which has a story by our very own Stan Wagenaar.
