Swords & Dark Magic
by Michael Shea, C.J. Cherryh, Garth Nix, K.J. Parker, Michael Moorcock, Jonathan Strahan, Greg Keyes, Bill Willingham, Scott Lynch, Gene Wolfe, Caitlín R. Kiernan, James Enge, Steven Erikson, Robert Silverberg, Tanith Lee, Tim Lebbon, Glen Cook, Joe Abercrombie
I picked this anthology up for a bit of writing inspiration and for the Scott Lynch story In The Stacks, which did not disappoint. Other highlights were Two Lions, The Witch, and the War-Robe, The Sea-Troll’s Daughter, A Suitable Present for a Sorcerous Puppet, and A Wizard of Wiscezan.
Unfortunately, I particularly hated the rape jokes in Dark Times at the Midnight Market and The Undefiled, as well as the grimdark feel of many of the other stories, so I’d overall rate it a 3/5.
