The latest Harold Lamb volumes from Bison books, Swords from the Sea and Swords from the East, already announced last December on The Cimmerian, are now available.

Richard L. Tierney’s poetry collection Savage Menace and other poems of horror is also out now. Some additional information not included in my January 26th blog post on this promising book can be read below.

From the editor:

Inside there are Lovecraftian poems aplenty in “Midsummer Nightmare,” “Kingsport,” “Yuletide in Kingsport,” “Alhazred’s Legacy,” “The Nameless City,” “Harag-Kolath,” “Turn On the Heat” and others; a threesome of poems based on The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien and two on ER Eddison’s worlds, as well as a triplet of poems based on Chambers’ the King in Yellow, as also a whole sonnet cycle (15) concerning Robert E. Howard’s immortal Hyboria, with an equally immortal portrait poem of Conan himself in one of them! A wistful remembrance of Simon Magus, Richard’s famous warrior-wizard from biblical times, rounds off the collection.
Lastly it possesses a Preface by ST Joshi, indexes of titles and first lines, and a painstaking full bibliography of the poems’ history.

Finally, here is a third announcement: the latest issue of Sorcerous Signals, a free Fantasy e-zine edited by Carol Hightshoe, is now online. Friend of The Cimmerian David A. Hardy has “a tale of Vikings, curses, and monsters in the frozen North” entitled “Prisoners of the Glittering Plain” therein.
