@MichaelI hope you enjoy it.
@OliverI cannot recommend Swords of the Four Winds enough. I initially bought it, and shelved it, pretty much forgetting it. Now that I’m reading it I’m quite taken with it. I regret not diving right in. Even the editing surpasses a majority of books printed today, and this was self published.
@OliverThat’s awesome! Is the interview available yet online?
I liked his story on Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, Lord of the Brass Host, and discovered he had penned a whole book of short stories in the same vein. Brilliant stuff. To me it reads like Harold Lamb and David Gemmell collaborated.
Thanks Seth
Thank you for the shout out, Seth.
I've changed gears from sword and sorcery to sword and silk. I eagerly purchased this after reading one of his stories in Heroic Fantasy Quarterly, and of course never got around to reading it. Swords of the Four Winds: Tales of Swords and Sorcery in an Ancient East That Never Was
I've moved onto:Savage Realms Monthly: August 2021: A collection of dark fantasy sword and sorcery short adventure stories
I've moved onto Savage Realms Monthly: May 2021: A collection of dark fantasy sword and sorcery short adventure stories and Whetstone: Amateur Magazine of Pulp Sword and Sorcery #4
I’m eager to read Sword and Planet too! I keep forgetting that one.
Thank you for the praise, Seth.
I started early, I suppose, I recently finished Swords and Sorceries Vol. 3 and Blood on the Blade which were both good anthologies. My reviews are up for anyone to see. I have also picked up my accumulated Savage Realms Monthly issues; I’m started issue 4 today. Be sure to check them out. I also just finished The Sword of Hel which sounds fantastic but had some problems. The Heroic Fantasy Quarterly collections were great. And any of the DMR collections are well worth reading. Rogue Blades’ Death Sting and The Lost Empire of Sol are great choices too.
DMR Books is looking for a few good stories. The theme is specific so be sure to read the requirements. https://dmrbooks.com/test-blog/2021/1...
Anytime. That was a fantastic deal. I actually paid a bit more for mine just a few weeks before from a seller on eBay. They’ve been out of print for years, I never thought someone would have them for sale at such a great price.
They certainly sold out quickly both times DMR had them.
Very envious haul! Bravo!
