Samhain Sorceries, edited by D.M. Ritzlin (DMR Books, September 24, 2022). Cover by Adam Burke
The mighty Dave Ritzlin, mastermind of DMR Books, continues to refresh his impressive backstock. Just in time for Halloween he’s re-released his popular collection of spooky Sword & Sorcery, Samhain Sorceries, with a brand new cover. Here’s Dave.
Samhain Sorceries was DMR Books’ best-received release of the past few years. With its unique concept and outstanding roster of authors, it’s not hard to see why. The fantastic new cover art was created by Adam Burke, and another of his paintings will adorn the follow-up volume, Walpurgis Witcheries, due out next spring.
Samhain Sorceries contains ten brand new tales, including a new story by Keith Taylor featuring Felimid mac Fal, hero of his classic Bard series. Order copies directly from the DMR website. And if you’re a fantasy author, note that submissions for the follow-up volume, Walpurgis Witcheries, are open until October 31st.
I am getting such a Dark Imaginings (“A Collection of Gothic Fantasy”, 1978, ed. by Boyer and Zahorski) from this new collection. Time for another book search, then.
Eugene,
What a fine memory for books you have (not to mention cover art!)
I haven’t thought of Dark Imaginings in years. It was a fantastic anthology.
I wrote it up as a VINTAGE TREASURES back in 2018.
