- Wortklingen (THE DEVILS feat. Joe Abercrombie)
While the three of our hosts are celebrating the release of our own sword and sorcery anthology TALES OF STEEL AND SORCERY from Oddity Prodigy Productions, we're couldn't be more delighted to interview one of our absolute favorite fantasy authors! Thanks to the fabulous folks at Tor Nightfire, we were thrilled to have the opportunity to interview Joe Abercrombie, who recently wrapped up a US tour promoting the paperback release of his latest book THE DEVILS. We've loved Joe's work ever since we read THE BLADE ITSELF back around 2007-ish, so this was a real dream come true for us. We can't thank Joe enough for his time, and we hope everyone enjoys the conversation! You read more about THE DEVILS on Joe's official site here: https://joeabercrombie.com/books/the-devils/ And as always, thanks so much for listening!
