Good selection of Fafhrd & Grey Mouser stories. No real surprises (you know they will come out on top despite whatever dangers they're facing).Sees them getting involved with Ningauble of the Seven Eyes and Sheelba the Faceless, more as a way to throw them into the next adventure.
Ningauble of the Seven Eyes and Sheelba of the Eyeless Face are as creepy as anything in Lovecraft.
