It is so very easy to spot a book that is bound to become a classic in the #swordandsorcery subgenre.
It needs to have that #oldschoolswordandsorcery feel to it.
The soft yellowish white cover. The font choices. The painterly artwork with Frank Frazetta vibes.

So I see that #CharlesMoffat has a new Wulfric the Wanderer story available. I am going to have to buy it the next time I order things from Amazon.
The Wulfric stories are so very satisfying, especially if you like #oldschoolswordandsorcery books that have strong Conan/REH vibes.

Are these snowberries?
I think they are.
If so, they may cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and diarrhea.
But... What do they taste like?
They have to be useful in some manner.

Fascinating.
Does the one sword transform the wielder into a He-Man like character? And his loyal pet into Battle-Cat?
And the one sorcery spell creates a portal from our world (Earth) to a different world where more magic exists?
Because I'd read that.

Sounds similar to "The Dark World" by Henry Kuttner.
Which I've read and very much enjoyed.
I particularly enjoyed how Kuttner depicted a character with multiple personalities. Worth reading just for that.
Have you read that book?

If you like indie Scifi/Fantasy with romance, adventure, sword/sorcery, necromancers/monsters, reluctant hero MMC, genius-level FMC, blend of science/magic, and an epic battle of good vs. evil, you'll enjoy my book:

The marriage of sword and sorcery with the atmosphere and trappings of Samhain and Halloween is a strong one, and makes this book a compelling read.

The movie that every #Conan fan wants to see, but will probably never see.
Seriously. The only way this would ever get done is if it was animated and so low budget that it would be a disappointment to everyone.
And, if we were lucky, an Arnold impersonator could do his voice.

Dear Sword and Sorcery Readers
Let's discuss...
Who are your favorite S&S authors and WHY?
Does Star Wars count as Sword and Sorcery? Yes or no? Why?
Is He-Man / She-Ra also Sword and Sorcery? I would argue yes*. But what do you think, and why?
* Conan and He-Man have a lot in common.

So I am reading The Frost Giant's Tomb by Charles Moffat.
And Soljargon's joke about the necromancer teaching his apprentices how to examine a corpse is waaaaaaaaaaay funnier than anything Tyrion said in the Game of Thrones books.
So dark too.
