Sword & Sorcery: "An earthier sort of fantasy" discussion

Just out now....a pseduo-reincarnation of the cursed Flashing Swords debacle earlier this year.

Savage Scrolls Volume One : Thrilling Tales of Sword-and-Sorcery


Annals of a Lost Time
Herein are eight scintillating tales of sword and sorcery from modern masters of the genre!

Adrian Cole. "Tower in the Crimson Mist." Elak of Atlantis braves a mysterious extradimensional portal to face down the sensuous Araccneris, Queen of Utterzanek!

Steve Dilks. "Tale of the Uncrowned Kings." In the streets of Uhremon, Erich Von Tormath and Zaran seek to plunder the city's most powerful sorcerer’s sanctum!

Steve Lines. "The Eyes of the Scorpion." Shamal the Warrior, enthralled by the wizard Zarallu’s magic, must brave ghul-haunted ruins to uncover a fell artifact!

David C. Smith. "Born of the Serpent." The Great Oron returns to combat the eldritch evil of an inhuman race, whose arcane secrets are more coveted than all the world's treasure!

Fred Blosser. "Under the Basilisk Moon." Prince Raynor is drawn into skullduggery and palace intrigue including a captive princess, bloodthirsty pirates, and a scheming mage!

D.M. Ritzlin. "Slave Girls for Sacrifice." Avok the Cytheran, bonded by slavers, must win his freedom from a sorceress dead-set on sanguine ritual!

Howard Andrew Jones. "Crypt of Stars." Hanuvar of Volanus seeks vengeance against the cruel Dervans; only with the aid of ancient spirits can he free his countrymen!

James Enge. "Laws for the Blood." The plundering of an ancient city awakens a lost weapon from a forgotten war. Only Morlock the Maker can stop it!

Thanks Seth! Purchased!

I found "Crypt of Stars" by HAJ to be one of my top favorites in Tales From the Magicians Skull 1. It's one of those that put a huge smile on my face exclaiming things like "Coooool !!!" I had no idea how the story was going to play out.

At last! After almost two years of publishers changing hands, controversial introductions, replaced editors, and name changes, it's great to finally see this anthology out. Kudos to Bob McLain and Jason Ray Carney for doing such stellar work. My own novelette, 'Tale of the Uncrowned Kings', is re-written from something I originally wrote back in my teens. I had a lot of fun with it. Some of the other stories I've had the fortune to read in the proofs they sent. You won't be disappointed. Good sword-&-sorcery... old school style!

Thanks for the update. Already purchased the e-book version and have fastened my seat belt and ready to ride.

Honored to have authors chime in here! Our annual Anthology group read is this upcoming Jan-Feb. This will be on my target list

Glad to see this hitting daylight
