Humorous Tales of Swords & Sorcery (Anthology)

Evil emperors. Powerful curses. Crazed were-gibbons?

Some heroes need to polish their derring-do, while some villains require the know-how of advice columnists to be truly evil. Some magicians should never be left alone with their spells, and some gods aren’t really all they’re cracked up to be. It’s a veritable chorus line of worthless warriors, simpleton sorcerers, and hapless henchmen.

The life of an adventurer isn’t all piles of treasure and damsels in distress, but there are sights to see, quests to complete, and jokes around every corner. So grab your giant axe, vorpal sword, or mystical grimoire—if you are of a mind—and prepare to meet your destiny with a smile on your face.

Bash Down the Door and Slice Open the Badguy features 24 stories that will tickle your funny bone while quenching your thirst for adventure.

"...“Heard It” by Dale Mettam comically plays on that redundancy as a hero brazenly rushes into all manner of dangers because he believes he’s done this sort of thing so many times before that there is no surprising him. "

Grasping for the Wind
"Sometimes even the characters know how the story is going to end. “Heard It” by Dale Mettam cuts right to the chase. Worldly-wise heroes know that one quest is often just the same as any other one. Mettam’s heroes have “Heard It” all before. A sideways look at the ridiculousness of the epic quest."
