Title: Pulp era fiction, for better *and* worse
Product review: Having recently discovered the sub-genre of Sword and Sorcery, I was really excited about this book. Unfortunately, while the stories do have their particular strengths, enough of the worst aspects of the Pulp era of genre fiction were present to degrade the experience overall.I got the impression that these tales were rushed. Another reviewer mentioned that he got the impression that these stories were made up as the author went along. I have to agree.The overall quality of the writing is rather low, unfortunately.There *were* some very interesting ideas here, but the execution was poor; this book is guilty of most of the stereotyped writing crimes that the Pulp era writers have been accused of by various critics.
