All-New Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser Stories to be Published in Tales From The Magician’s Skull We are pleased to announce that we have reached an agreement with the estate of Fritz Leiber to publish new authorized stories of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser! Over the coming years, Tales From The Magician’s Skull will support the city of Lankhmar and its most famous residents with a series of new stories and novellas that faithfully expands upon the legendary tales originally told by Fritz Leiber.

He is a champion crafter of heroic fantasy tales, with a sincere love for and deep knowledge of Fritz Leiber’s adventures of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. “More than any other writer, more than Tolkien, more than Howard, more than Moorcock, Fritz Leiber instilled in me my love of fantasy, and sword-and-sorcery in particular,” said Nathan. “His delight in wordplay, whimsy, and wit shape my writing to this day, and I consider him one of the true immortals of the field.  Thus, it was a great and terrifying honor when Howard Andrew Jones and Joseph Goodman asked me to try my hand at a Fafhrd and Gray Mouser pastiche, and I feel presumptuous even to have accepted.
