Books to film 📚=🎞️ The Neverending Story (1979) by Michael Ende was filmed (1984) by Wolfgang Petersen. The films adapts only half of the German novel. The meaning of wishes also diverges as Ende despised the film's removal of key philosophy regarding the danger of escapism. 📖🐉💭 #filmsky #booksky

It's coming up on the one year anniversary of my queer cosmic horror novella WASTE GROUND, which was put out by @slashichorrorpress.bsky.social! If you like cults, and cryptids and nastiness, please give it a look-see. #horror #queerhorror #booksky www.goodreads.com/book/show/22...

Really fun games, where Thor was portrayed in an unexpected and interesting way. I'm looking forward to this series. #fantasy #godofwar

The first RPG I played was called CHAINMAIL, then I got into DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS, and then this gem came along, GAMMA WORLD. It really scratched my post-apocalyptic itch, which, at the time, I loved just as much as fantasy. #fantasy #SFF #RPG #post-apocalyptic #gaming

Another classic favorite, "Nifft the Lean" is gritty and grotesque horror-fantasy, with a perfect anti-hero in Nifft, master thief. I owned a copy with this incredible cover by the incomparable @michaelwhelan.bsky.social, but regrettably sold it years ago. #sword&sorcery #fantasy #michaelwhelan

It's not beautiful visually, but here's my article reflecting on a year of reading trans, two-spirit, nonbinary, & gender nonconforming-authored works! It includes descriptions of each book or story to help you find something you might enjoy beforewegoblog.com/a-year-of-re... #transbooks #booksky

i have just gotten off a productive call with sauron where i laid out our requests - nazgul bodycams - morgul knife must remain sheathed unless suspect is determined to be carrying the one ring - shelob will be the new point of contact

I forgot all about this movie. The scene: Saturday night, teenage me and my friends, pizza, and massive infusions of caffeine. SIEZE HIM! ⚔️🛡️ #fantasy #fantasyfilms #sword&sorcery #filmsky

Conan exists in my head with as much detail as any actor does. I've been reading Conan stories for 50 years. When I drew him last year, he was simply 'there', at the end of my pen.

Dunk inspires kindness among princes and smallfolk alike in the second episode of A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, and the tournament kicks off with some wild jousting! Let's talk Targaryens, rebellion, and very good horses...

Bookmail! Got myself a new (used) copy of Moorcock's "The Eternal Champion" for a re-read. Been a while, to say the least! #sword&sorcery #fantasy #BookSky #MichaelMoorcock #BookMail

Love this cover. I always thought the chainmail bra made little sense for such a badass warrior. #redsonja #sword&sorcery

When I was thirteen, Brak ruled my world. Fun and silly, a Conan-knock-off, the books still hold a warm place in my heart. John Jakes was also a quite successful author of historical fiction. I read his SF books, too. He churned 'em out. #swordandsorcery #booksky #fantasy #johnjakes

DEATH PIT by Joseph Vargo

My entry into the wondrous realm of Newhon. Leiber created the blueprint for adventure. “The Unholy Grail," is my favorite story here. #swordandsorcery #booksky

Cute kids! Drunken dance parties! Genuine humor! The premiere of "A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" introduces a version of Westeros that's much more fun than previous incarnations. What did you think of the first episode? #GameofThrones #AKnightoftheSevenKingdoms

Really enjoyed the first episode of GRRMs A Knight of Seven Kingdoms on HBO. Gets the tone of the book right and the main characters are cast perfectly. Suprised I saw no advertising about the debut. Very sweet and silly, but just what I needed at the moment. #aknightofsevenkingdoms #fantasy #HBO

Looking forward to "Shatter the Sun: Queer Tales of Untold Adventure," an anthology of queer sword & sorcery from @neonhemlock.bsky.social due out later this year. #sword&sorcery #fantasy #booksky

My latest essay, from earlier this week, dives into Thomas Burnett Swann's thirteenth novel, this one about ancient Egypt and what happens when pharaoh banishes magic from the land.

This rocks! ⚔️💀⚔️🖤 #sword&sorcery #metal #fantasy #musicsky

Glen Cook's "Black Company" series is a VV favorite. Terse, tense, funny, and heavily indebted to LOTR, these tales from Croaker the Annalist and his anti-hero comrades read like dispatches from some modern war. Cook's stellar SF books are also worth tracking down. #sword&sorcery #fantasy #booksky
