The Laughter of Dark Gods — William King

ONCE MORE THE lightning flashed. Exultation filled him. He stood untouched and unafraid in the elemental landscape. It seemed that part of him had come home at last. Kurt raised his sword to the sky. Its runes glowed red as blood. He laughed aloud and his voice was merged with the thunder. -- from The Laughter of Dark Gods by William King

THE OGRE RAN a rope-like finger over the tip of his club. 'Shall I brain you; he mused, 'before throwing you into the sea?' His shoulders moved in a grotesque shrug. 'Why make a mess?' And he laid his club delicately on the ground and advanced on me, hands spread. -- from The Song by Steve Baxter

SATURATED BY THE fell magic of Chaos, the Warhammer world is a dark and dangerous place, where dead things walk, and nothing and no one is ever quite what they appear. First published in the early 1980s, these classic tales of action and adventure have been brought together in a new, revised edition which should appeal to all lovers of fantasy fiction.
