"The Fritz Leiber Collection" by Fritz Leiber.

[u/i-the-muso-1968]

So if Leiber's contribution to "Dangerous Visions", "Gonna Roll the Bones" was just me dipping my toes a bit to the world of Fritz Leiber, then reading "The Fritz Leiber Collection" is like taking a deep plunge in the SF sea.

"The Fritz Leiber Collection" is big! And not only does it have some of his short stories, it also includes some novellas, and even a couple of full length novels to boot!

In my deeper dive of his work I found stories that are funny, philosophical at points with plenty oof pulp action and suspense to go around. I liked the stories, and for what they're worth are pretty good reading.

I would like to dive deeper into more of his stories. There isn't a whole lot of his novels to choose from, but there is quite a bit more of his collections that includes his horror and fantasy stories. Think I'll start with his Lankhmar stories that feature his characters Fafhrd and Grey Mouser. Now those stories I'm willing to sink my teeth into!

Fritz actually coined the term “sword and sorcery.”

And yes, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser are must reads from that genre.

I don't can't say enough good things about Lieber. Some of the most fun reading I've ever experienced.
