Mythic tales, legends and lore are part of every human culture. From the quests of Greek myth, to China's Journey to the West, from India's Mahabharata to the Anglo-Saxon Beowulf, our histories resound with the clang of swords, and the struggle of heroes and heroines against dark forces and foul sorcery.
In the 20th century, Robert E Howard, among others, pioneered modern mythologies which have become known as Sword and Sorcery. This anthology continues that tradition, with eleven new sizzling S&S tales from the pens of the Innsmouth Writing Circle.
The yarns within feature a cast of lucky thieves, avenging barbarians, bold swordswomen, and temple plunderers, not to mention sorcerers, necromancers, priests and a range of horrors that would freeze the blood of all but the bravest warrior.
So don your chain mail shirt, hoist high your battle-axe, let loose a war cry, and join us in the days of High Adventure....
