Book Review of Dilvish, The Damned

Dilvish, The Damned
AlHazred avatar reviewed on + 9 more book reviews


An enjoyable sword-and-sorcery book, half-elf Dilvish and his demonic steel-bodied horse Black were originally published in a series of short stories in the 60s; this is an anthology of those stories, along with three new ones to fill it out. Dilvish is a hero with a difference, who uses small bits of occult knowledge, a fine grasp of tactics, and a skill with swords to try to find the sorcerer who wronged him.
