Bash Down the Door and Slice Open the Badguy

by Lawrence C. Connolly, Chris Chua (Illustrator), Elizabeth Hopkinson (Contributor)

Evil emperors. Powerful curses. Crazed were-gibbons? Some heroes need to polish their derring-do, while some villains require the know-how of advice columnists to be truly evil. Some magicians should never be left alone with their spells, and some gods aren't really all they're cracked up to be. It's a veritable chorus line of worthless warriors, simpleton sorcerers, and hapless henchmen. The life of an adventurer isn't all piles of treasure and damsels in distress, but there are sights to see, quests to complete, and jokes around every corner. So grab your giant axe, vorpal sword, or mystical grimoire-if you are of a mind-and prepare to meet your destiny with a smile on your face. Includes stories by Lawrence C. Connolly, Murray J. D. Leeder, Jim C. Hines, and K. D. Wentworth.

Best collection to have and read. Weirdly enough i didn't expect this level quality stories to come out of this book. The illustrations made it look crude and i thought it was going to be over the top type of humor, and it was not. It was just the right amount of irony, that i need to function daily, and absolutely every one of those stories were a gem to behold. In the end i loved even the pictures. The only grievance i have is, that the publisher of this book, Fantasist Enterprises, has other books too that i would of course love to get my hands on, but they all cost so bloody much. 22,07EUR for example is a bit much to ask for paperback.
