A moment to say, half these reviews of Wagner's books at the close seem to not be written by people who like or read Sword and Sorcery and/or people who don't know Kane and/or people who don't know or understand Wagner. Were these assigned reviews? A few of these have been rather disheartening.

Justin Marriott's essay is informative yet not very endearing. I get the vibe he probably shouldn't have wrote it.

The interview with the creators of the KEW documentary was very cool.

Adrian Cole takes a look at Karl's Bran Mak Morn novel in "Karl Mac Morn." Decent examination of Howard and Wagner styles and storytelling.

Still don't really know why other writers' stories were included in a book about KEW, but I did enjoy Schow's "Bunny Didn't Tell Us" - a funny horror story. Wagner's intros to each story are marvelous as ever.

Fascinating and melancholic. Very interesting and cool look at the person, the life, and the impact of KEW. Not sure the 50 pages of other people's fiction I'm starting should be here. Karl's introductions, sure, but I'd rather have a couple dozen more of those than these stories he didn't write.

Quite interesting reading. Enjoying the intimacies shared. Delighted to learn KEW and I share a despise for the inaccurate use of the word 'antihero' simultaneous with the loss of use of 'Byronic hero' - or John F. Mayer's 'Luciferian hero.'

What a book this appears to be! Heartfelt opening pieces describing friendships and admiration for the hero.
