One of The Brothers Krynn joins The Otter.

Scottish blood, steel pen, no tolerance for sanitized fantasy. He writes the kind of blood-soaked heroic fiction that modern publishers avoid.

From Conan’s Cimmerian fury, to Tolkien’s depth, onward to their own Caledonian tales like Crown of Blood, the Brothers Krynn drag sword & sorcery back to its brutal roots.

In this episode: writing without compromise, the death of modern fantasy, Scottish folklore meets barbarian spirit, Crown of Blood, the upcoming Akuma no Ran and why old fantasy still matters.
