Notes

*

It should be noted that William Morris, Lord Dunsany, and E. R. Eddison all preceded and influenced Tolkien.

†

Paizo Publishing’s Planet Stories imprint recently published all six of the Jirel of Joiry stories in one volume. The Black God’s Kiss (2002) is notable for including “Quest of the Starstone,” a story that is omitted from the two previous Jirel collections. Written with Moore’s husband, Henry Kuttner, this tale features Jirel’s meeting with Moore’s other famous creation, spaceship pilot and smuggler Northwest Smith, direct forerunner of Star Wars’ Han Solo.

‡

Many of Terry Pratchett’s Discworld novels are set in a city called Ankh-Morpork, a nod to Leiber’s city of Lankhmar, and the first Discworld novel features an encounter with a giant barbarian comrade “Bravd” and a swordsman-thief known as “The Weasel.” Pratchett’s Cohen the Barbarian is, of course, a reference to Robert E. Howard’s creation as well.

Imaro and The Quest for Cush are both currently available from Night Shade Books. The Trail of Bohu has recently been self-published by the author.
