Christopher Rowe | 11 comments I'm currently reading every S&S story I can find published or to be published in 2022. I've read about a hundred so far, and estimate that the final number will come in at around 225-235, largely depending on whether or not Weird Tales #366 makes its promised appearance before the end of the year.

Michael Fierce (michaelfierce) | 131 comments Because this is the most active board and there isn't a Sword & Sorcery movie/media board yet I will post this here. A Red Sonja reboot starring Matilda Lutz.

Red Sonja (2023)



Thanks for that. I am currently reading the on-going comic book The Invincible Red Sonja, and it's not my first Red Sonja by far. I am indeed looking forward to this new movie version. I place a lot of trust into the team not messing it up.

I'm looking forward to it too. Certainly seems to have some good things going for it. I'm sure it seems blasphemous for not doing so but I have only read one or two issues of Red Sonja in my entire life though I've read Red Sonya - The Shadow of the Vulture a couple times and seen the hokey movie a few times. I hope to read some of the Thomas issues which it is based on before the reboot is released.

I'm now most of the way through Fritz Leiber's Conjure Wife -- seemed like a good seasonal choice.

Gilead Artist | 16 comments Just finished Terra Incognita from DMR books. Loved it particularly From the Darkness Beneath by Howard Andrew Jones, but there's a lot of great authors in there. Highly recommended.
Just started Swords from the West by Harold Lamb

Finished Conjure Wife (which was great) and started Cloud Cuckoo Land by Anthony Doerr, something completely different, because it's a selection for a book club I'm in.

Very much enjoying the first story so far

Al Burke (alburke47) | 220 comments Reading Hannibal: Clouds of War, which is pretty good and listening to Fairy Tale which is terrific.

Richard | 816 comments Mildred Downey Broxon was the author to the Eric Brighteyes sequel published by Zebra. Under a pen name

Jim Kuenzli | 25 comments Interesting, Richard! I didn’t know that.


message 2719: by Richard (new)

Richard | 816 comments I seem to remember that it was billed as a sequel, but in fact it was a retelling from a different perspective.

Eric Brighteyes A Witches Welcome by Sigfriour Skaldaspillir


message 2720: by Jim (new)

Jim Kuenzli | 25 comments Did you read it? Was it any good?


message 2721: by Richard (new)

Richard | 816 comments It was okay. It fills in a lot of places Haggard glossed over in his telling. It also explores what Eric did as an outlaw. Fans of Haggard don’t seem to enjoy it, tho. My review is available here on GR.

Jason Waltz (worddancer) | 385 comments Tales from the Magician's Skull #8 & Special #2 (I'm guessing Special #1 was that #0 issue?).


message 2723: by Seth (new)

Seth Hobbs I am reading more nonfiction lately, when I actually get time to read. I just released Book 1 of my epic new fantasy series. Book 2 will be out soon! I think you will love it. Give it a look if you get time. Thanks! Great group. https://www.amazon.com/Sword-Three-Ri...

Now it's time for Dune for the first time in about 15 years.

Still Duning, on to Dune Messiah.


message 2735: by Jason (new)

Jason Waltz (worddancer) | 385 comments Just received and read the Ablaze The Cimmerian "The Frost-Giant's Daughter" and added it to the Conan collection. Loved the depiction of Conan's dominating will and passion. Bloody, yes, but like a movie filmed in a lot of darkness, it obscures too much and lets things be sloppy.

My daughter loves MHA. It's kinda hilarious.

Luke | 12 comments I'm reading a ton of epic fantasy--not as good as Sword and Sorcery, but I'm thinking about writing again!
