Blackmoor reading list

Fritz Leiber
I haven't read any of Leibers Lankhmar novels, but I know they deal with rogue-ish characters and are generally city based adventures.

Havard, are you kidding me? hock:

Your homework is to track down at least one F&GM story and read it. There will be a quiz!

I suggest Swords Against Death (collection 1970, expanded and revised from Two Sought Adventure 1957)
1. "The Circle Curse" (1970, first publication)
2. "The Jewels in the Forest" (novelette 1939 Unknown, as "Two Sought Adventure")
3. "Thieves' House" (novelette 1943 Unknown)
4. "The Bleak Shore" (1940 Unknown)
5. "The Howling Tower" (1941 Unknown)
6. "The Sunken Land" (1942 Unknown)
7. "The Seven Black Priests" (novelette 1953 Other Worlds)
8. "Claws from the Night" (novelette 1951 Suspense as "Dark Vengeance")
9. "The Price of Pain-Ease" (1970, first publication)
10. "Bazaar of the Bizarre" (novelette 1963 Fantastic)

Maybe skip over "The Circle Curse" since it's clearly a later add-on. The neat thing about this volume is that it's a bunch of short stories so they're fast reading, and that most of the stories in this volume harken back to the 1940's and 1950's. If you can't find it, PM me and I'll see what I can do to hook you up with something.

In my opinion, F&GM were OD&D before OD&D was written!
