Oh, thanks for the reminder! I’ll read one of his novel this evening and raise a toast.

The greatest of the golden age swords-and-sorcery prose-poets, in my opinion. His worlds are richly limned with terrible beauty and enriched with an economy of words that are eloquent in their rich and blood-hued colours, world building non pareil. Zothique, Hyperborea, Poseidonis, Xiccarph, each is a magnificently rich setting. A worthy word-weaver and scop to stand shield wall strong alongside R.E. Howard, Leiber, Lovecraft Moorcock, Vance.
