I googled who controls REH's literary estate, and it's... Swedish video game publishers/developers, Paradox Interactive? But no, turns out it's some random company, Paradox Entertainment.

I hope this isn't rude to ask, but I decided to try my hand at writing a story in a sword and sorcery style after I couldn't find a book the story collection of Conan the Barbarian at the book store nearby me.

It's a little rough. This is just the first draft. It's called Sebastian The Swordshatterer and it's kind of an anthology thing where Sebastian travelers across the land, comes across some people who are dealing with a supernatural thing, gets into a series of obstacles to overcome it, and ultimately succeeds due to his wits more than his brawn.

If anyone is willing to give it a read and give me some honest critique, I'd be deeply appreciative.

I can't provide full commentary yet, but sword-and-sorcery parodies like this are pretty played out.

"He was . . . a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. . . . A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. . . . Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane.”


Sounds pretty dumb to be honest.

Also, having read it, it is pretty dumb.
