"I just finished the first story by John C. Hocking, author of Conan And The Emerald Lotus and Conan And The Living Plague. Both of those novels are available in one edition called Conan: City Of The Dead, published by Titan Books. The short story in this book was enjoyable and well written. I will dip in and out of this book in between reading other books. I do like my fix of sword and sorcery." Jul 01, 2026 11:43PM

Dan Simmons
“When the last autumn of Dickens's life was over, he continued to work through his final winter and into spring. This is how all of us writers give away the days and years and decades of our lives in exchange for stacks of paper with scratches and squiggles on them. And when Death calls, how many of us would trade all those pages, all that squandered lifetime-worth of painfully achieved scratches and squiggles, for just one more day, one more fully lived and experienced day? And what price would we writers pay for that one extra day spent with those we ignored while we were locked away scratching and squiggling in our arrogant years of solipsistic isolation?

Would we trade all those pages for a single hour? Or all of our books for one real minute?”
Dan Simmons, Drood

Dan Simmons
“After fifty-five years of dedicating his life and work to the story of ethical systems, Sol Weintraub had come to a single, unshakable conclusion: any allegiance to a deity or concept or universal principal which put obedience above decent behavior toward an innocent human being was evil.”
Dan Simmons, Hyperion

Albert Einstein
“I speak to everyone in the same way, whether he is the garbage man or the president of the university.”

“The shortest route to courage is absolute ignorance.”
Dan Simmons, Endymion

Clive Barker
“No tears, please. It's a waste of good suffering.”
