Books Update: Lin Carter Of World’s End
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: Lin Carter was a busy man. As well as science fiction, fantasy and horror novels and short stories, he was also a noted critic, anthologist and editor. His passion was fantasy, and he is possibly best remembered today as the editor of the Pan Ballantine Adult Fantasy series in the 1970s. There is no doubting his predilection for sword and sorcery of the Robert E Howard type, and this is very evident in the World’s End series, where in the far future all the Earth’s land masses have joined together into a super-continent called Gondwane. Carter uses this as a setting for familiar sword and sorcery archetypes. Three of the six novels in this sequence are included in this update: #2 The Enchantress Of World’s End, #3 The Immortal Of World’s End, #4 The Barbarian Of World’s End. All are 1st US paperback printings; Enchantress is a decent VG, the others are reading copies, a bit battered.
