The cover artwork for both is by award-winning fantasy artist Jim Pitts, and the swords and sorcery anthology includes some interior artwork too.
Both will be published as paperbacks and ebooks, priced £11.99 and £2.99 respectively.
One tale that will definitely be looked forward to is a brand-new Elak, King of Atlantis story by veteran fantasy writer Adrian Cole.
Last year saw publication of his first series of Elak tales by Pulp Hero Press, Elak: King of Atlantis to great critical acclaim. Included in Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 3 will be a novella-length Elak story: Sailing on the Thieves' Tide.
Full details of all of the contents will be announced next week and Swords & Sorceries: Tales of Heroic Fantasy Volume 3 will be available as a paperback and ebook by mid-November.
"This film has a great sense of purpose in its story - and that's exactly what independent film is about."
Eric's story collection Nightscape was published by Parallel Universe Publications.
