Jason Hardy on the website Echoes of Valhalla: "Terrific
Tales: Anthologies can often be a mixed bag for me, but this latest
from David A. Riley was solid. Ten tales that were all enjoyable. Some
ongoing characters and settings which is welcome in a themed anthology
of this type. Quality publication all around with the usual excellent
art on cover and a few interiors by seasoned pro, Jim Pitts. Sword and
Sorcery of the 20's needs a strong ongoing anthology and (through two
volumes) for me as a long time fan this one is the best available. My
own personal favorites in this volume were Cole's "The Eater of Gods"
(one of the better stories I read this year), Chinn's "The Essence of
Dust" and Dilk's "The Amulet and the Shadow" (well written old school
heroic fantasy in the Howard vein). Riley did a good job of choosing his
tales. If you haven't tried this anthology series yet definitely climb
aboard."
