Cover Cavalcade
I'm not a huge fan of Lin Carter's fiction, but Frank Frazetta gave us a fantastic cover for this particular novel.
Poor Lin Carter. I read a lot of his stuff back in the 70s. I read a lot of his stuff before I realized all he did was imitate R.E.H, E.R.B, and H.P. Lovecraft.
Carter was a great editor with excellent taste in good stories. Whenever he put together an anthology, it would be full of great stories EXCEPT for the ones he himself wrote.

ReplyDeleteI read that his final days weren't very pretty.
