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....CONTENTSFOREWORDTHE HORN OF TUR - H.R.Laurence TO TAME A DEMON - Lyndon Perry FEAST OF FOOLS - Robert PoytonTHE ROTTING GODDESS - B Harlan CrawfordTHE COLOUR OF DECAY - Ashley Dioses THE LUCKY THIEF - Tim MendeesWIND - Russell SmeatonTHE HAUNTER OF THE CATACOMBS - Gavin ChappellSKYFALL - Glynn Owen BarrassTHE GUIDE, THE GENERAL AND THE PRIEST - Shelley de CruzONE SWORD AGAINST THE GLUTTONOUS GODS -Lee Clark Zumpe
