Swords in the Mist

Rating:
Summary: Good reading
Review: It's a shame that these Leiber books are out of print. They're well-written and exciting. Reading these I felt the same excitement I had reading Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories in that once you're done with a story..you get to start another one all over again.

Summary: Great Fafhrd & The Gray Mouser Stories
Review: Leiber's sword books stand alone in heroic fantasy for their gallows humor, perverse plots, and decadent settings. He treats his heroes with a respect, compassion, and maturity not common in fantasy or horror writing.

This books of stories includes material written in the 1940's to 1960's. In addition to the famous "Lean Times in Lankhmar" - the story of Issek of the Jug's rise on the Street of the Gods - and "Adept's Gambit" - where the heroes come to the Macedonian empire on our Earth, the book includes "The Cloud of Hate", "When the Sea-King's Away", and a pair of short-shorts written as segueways between the previously published stories.
