fafhrd

The Fafhrd & Mouser story (one of them, anyway) is The Swords of Lankhmar, which is absolutely fantastic.

Or Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser short stories, which were the individual adventures of those two characters.

Huh, I never expected to find out that the Ghouls from Leiber’s Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser books were actually plausible.

Third in the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser collections.

The Lord of the Rings, Conan, Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser.) Credit where credit is due, the Ballantine books are what made Tolkien explode in popularity here in the U.

(Spot the Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser cameo in the first chapter!) I'd probably go with Mort.

Other books, such as the Elric books by Moorcock, or Leiber's Fafhrd books would still qualify as genre fiction, but have far more depth and nuance to them and I thoroughly enjoyed reading them.

Some things that could be excellent on the silver screen, or as a television series: • Fritz Leiber's "Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser".

Fritz Leiber's "Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser" series [2].

Fritz Leiber's "Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser" series [1].

Later I figured that what works better is to have a "Conan the Barbarian / Elric / Fafhrd+Mouser simulator" that can "zoom out" to higher levels.

Fafhrd and the Mouser are an interesting case: There are seven (pretty short) volumes of stories, written over nearly forty years, with the major anthologies halfway through.
