Status Updates From Swords Against Wizardry

I’m at the Science Fiction Book Club cardstock insert. Oh boy, 4 books for only 10c cents! I’m gonna mail the card in.

Stardock: A mountain of a story! This stuff is why Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are classic sword & sorcery adventurers. But there's still the second-half novella to blow the volume like in the previous one. We shall see.

‘Even as the day grew darker from the thickening snowfall and as the crackling booms returned sharper and stronger—thunder now for sure, since they were heralded by brief palings up and down the chimney—snow-muted lightning flashes—the Mouser and Fafhed felt as merry as children mounting a mysterious twisty stairway in a haunted castle.’

A rare em-dash clause inside another em-dash clause.

‘Thinking of the great invisible fishlike flyer they had seen last evening, it’s raylike form undulating through the snowfall, he felt gooseflesh crawling on him.’

‘At that moment there came again, without prelude, the rushing in the silent air and they saw, clearly outlined by the falling snow, a great flat undulating shape.’
