Old Fantasy x New Fantasy
Saturday, October 24, 2009
I'm normally not too fussed about anthologies (I'm still heartbroken over my contribution to The Last Dangerous Visions), but this - Swords & Dark Magic - looks legitimately good.
Contributions from Joe Abercrombie, Scott Lynch, KJ Parker and Garth Nix highlight the 'new guard' with Michael Moorcock, Gene Wolfe and CJ Cherryh standing out from the previous great wave of sword & sorcery fiction.
This looks great (especially for those of us eagerly awaiting the next Lynch or Abercrombie release).
Joe Abercrombie let slip that there will be a swanky edition published from Subterranean Press. No word from them yet, but that sounds like something worth noting.
