The series is made up of novellas and vignettes that were first published in magazines (most frequently in 'Fantastic' magazine) before being collected into the 'Swords' series in book form. Leiber is considered a master of the sword and sorcery genre and popularized the term himself in 1961. A 'Bonus Content' section at the rear contains two essays by Leiber and two letters to Leiber from H. P. Lovecraft. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.
