Sword and Sorcery Books

Lover of S&S, heroic fantasy and fantasy books. Conan the Barbarian, Elric of Melniboné, Imaro, Geralt of Rivia, Wulfric the Wanderer, Wrathgar, and more. Pronouns: Sword/Sorcery
Dear #SwordandSorcery Authors: I want to see more femalecharacters who actually know how to fight. Make them realistic. Make them bad ass. I want the feminine equivalent of "Die Hard" and "Conan the Barbarian". Like a female version of Rocky Balboa, who isn't afraid to take hits & dish it out.
I don't understand why they didn't dye his hair black in order to match REH's original descriptions of Conan having a black mane of hair. Because this looks badass to me.
Yes, of course. Very true. Everyone does that, not just on social media. But if you're going to start an electric car company and make it successful, why wouldn't you make the cars look like an E Type Jaguar??? Because that is objectively very pretty to look at.
Smilodon/Tiger Vs Dragon Vs Dire Wolf? Who would win in a battle royale? #fantasy
#BOOKREVIEW "Here be dragon clichés..." by Richard Sexsmith is an odd bit of fun. Harold and Malcolm are charlatans pretending to be dragonslayers, which is a fun premise, but it is the writing and humour, which embraces literary tropes and clichés, that raises this story to a fine art. ☆☆☆☆☆
I recently came up with an idea regarding Sword and Sorcery books. We should add the following to book covers for old school #swordandsorcery books. Too many people out there are writing epic fantasy/etc and mislabeling the stories as S&S. #oldschoolswordandsorcery
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. #swordandsorcery
Map of #Hyboria overlapped with a map of Europe. #ConanTheBarbarian
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. Hmm...
Ah, but does your book have Kanel Snegl in it??? I feel that every fantasy book featuring vikings should have cinnamon and chocolate pastries in it. And to hell with "historical accuracy", this is a fantasy book for Thor's Sake! 😉
I had to do two separate comments for some unknown reason.
I mean... The map is a nice bonus. Check out these maps by: Charles Moffat Charles Saunders Robert E. Howard Ursula K. Le Guin #swordandsorcery See 2nd post for the other maps, due to error message; I wasn't able to post all 5 maps together.
I have decided to reread the first two #Imaro books by Charles Saunders. I still need to find a copy of the 3rd book, etc.
This is a photo of a famous Hitler Youth. Do you recognize him? He's very famous.
Group dynamic: Wren and her brother Maximilian Wrathgar and his best friend Soljargon Ty (Tyrastasia) the deaf-mute thief, who is friendly with Soljargon. Wren ❤🔥 Wrathgar The group is trying to find an ancient artifact before the Xarsians do.
The main villain in this fantasy series is a warlord/king, but you don't get introduced to him until book 4 of the series. Slooooow burnnnnnn... 🔥
I don't know who made this art piece, but I wanna read this book! 😉 #fairytale #swordandsorcery
If we aren't at least punching Nazis, then we are tolerating and compromising with Nazis. "Sure, you can have half of Poland." "Sure, you can have all of France." "Sure, you can divide up the planet with Italy and Japan." At what point do we say NO to dictatorships? #KingTrump
How about an anthology of 8 stories? 366 pages ÷ 8... is ~46 pages per story.
Does she like dogs or wolves? Time paradoxes? Portals?
Yep, and the search isn't much better either. You search for fantasy books and it shows lots of non-fantasy books... Books that are clearly Sports.
But on the plus side, if the USA has a civil war all those Gym Bros will do stupid stuff that gets themselves killed. All brawn and no brains = Meat Puppet Cannon Fodder.
