From distant lands they hear the cry, to take up arms against or die. With weapons forged of bones as blade, the Devil's armory's been paid. A lone rider must use them well, to rid this realm of blackest Hell. Others trade their soul in place of powers endowed to knife or mace. What earnest follows - good or bad - is as HE had hoped from such evil bag. For trade now plyed from regal throne gifts deceitful prince his new-found home. - Nathan J.D.L. Rowark Join the authors of Barbwire Butterfly Books for high adventure tales from long lost realms, in an anthology of sword and sorcery forged from the Devil's armory.
The sky shines brightly above us and the moon and stars and sun make their revolutions but there is something else that is a constant and that is fear. Fear in all shapes and sizes, from the most minute to the largest, our lives are dictated by the pressures and diversions that fear presents. One way to conquer fear or, I hesitate to say, be chilled to the marrow is to read about it...to experience it through the eyes of another. This book is dedicated to those fears and their purveyors. I hope you enjoy this show, this grand ball of fears and frights with a moment of appreciated bliss. Read on gentle reader and be prepared to shiver with delight.
