Lancer Books published King Kull in 1967. Within its pages was the first map of Robert E. Howard’s Thurian Age, which epoch existed millennia before the Hyborian Age.

Edgar Allan Poe is probably the most influential American writer of all time. Ernest Hemingway may have pointed to Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn as the progenitor of American literature, but with all due respect to both Twain and Hemingway, no American had the influence on not only American literature but world literature that Poe did.

Brian Murphy knows his Sword-and-Sorcery. Therefore, it was cool to read his reviews of DMR Books’ Celtic Adventures.

Unlike the stories set in our solar system we do not know what exists in the rest of the universe. Anything could exist, and in Smith’s fiction, often does.

These stories, despite their astronomic setting, are not really science fiction, at least not hard SF. (If you are looking for scientific rigor, look elsewhere.) These are Weird Fiction stories set in space.

Last year DMR Books produced the Centennial Edition of A. Merritt’s fantasy classic The Ship of Ishtar. This edition included the author’s preferred text, plenty of illustrations, and supplementary material, some of it previously unpublished, making it a dream come true for longtime Merritt fans. Now Merritt’s novel Dwellers in the Mirage will get the same treatment!
