Fritz Leiber's Swords and Deviltry is $1.99 at Amazon. Swords and Deviltry is the first collection of Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories.
Leiber was a pulp master and Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser should be more widely known. Unlike their pulp brother, Conan, they were human and had failings. The stories usually had a dash of humor to them. I will say this first collection starts slow. I remember not caring much for the individual stories The Snow Women or The Unholy Grail. The book really takes off when the characters meet in Ill Met in Lankhmar. |

Sadly, when I click on the video, what I see is not very entertaining,

In paper I have the four book White Wolf Lankhmar collections with the Mike Mignola artwork. I wish that had been licensed for these. His style fits the stories very well (probably because I first became familiar with Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser from the Epic miniseries by Mignola and Chaykin.) |

Also posted in the kobo deals thread but may interest some here
Kobo currently has 40% of a select list with coupon 40BOX https://www.kobo.com/us/en/p/40box Normally I don't find much from these lists but this time it includes The Diving Series Starter Bundle by Kristine Kathryn Rusch $7.99 (before discount) which includes the first three books in the series (Diving into the Wreck, City of Ruins and Boneyards.) The bundle as it stands alone is already a good deal with the discount well worth buying if you haven't already bought them. https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/the...starter-bundle A Ghost of a Chance Starter Bundle by Dean Wesley Smith is a similar deal https://www.kobo.com/us/en/ebook/a-g...starter-bundle |

The novella collection Night's Edge, with stories from Charlaine Harris, Maggie Shayne, and Barbara Hambly, is presently $1.49 at Amazon US and Kobo.
I've read this - I don't remember much of the Harris or Shayne stories, but I've read the Hambly story more than once. The Hambly story isn't connected to any of her series to my knowledge. The Harris story may have been in an all-Harris collection mentioned here recently, so check your records if that's your interest. Quote:

Arthur C. Clarke's legendary Rendezvous with Rama is $1.99 at Amazon.
An enormous cylindrical object appears in Earth's solar system, hurtling toward the sun. A ship is sent to explore the mysterious craft-which the denizens of the solar system name Rama-and what they find is intriguing evidence of a civilization far more advanced than ours. |
