The Emperor’s New God an enjoyable read

“One of the warnings I’ve been given as a fantasy writer is to avoid cliché tavern scenes.

The Emperor’s New God by Jennifer Dunne [is another] mix of mythology and history as Otto the Great [...]

“Imagine an eternal bar managed by Gilgamesh himself. It has existed everywhere and when, and always has exactly what its patrons need on tap (which sometimes differs from what they think they want). What started as an idea a group of authors came up with while in their cups translated magnificently into a collection that [...]

Five hearts for Santa’s Helpers
