Cover art by M.D. Jackson

Neither Beg Nor Yield features a staggering twenty all-new stories from some of the biggest names in the field of sword and sorcery, including Steven Erikson, William King, Joe R. Lansdale, Adrian Cole, David C. Smith, Keith J. Taylor and Howard Andrew Jones, edited by Jason M Waltz, himself a prolific fantasy author with tales published in Savage Realms, A Book of Blades and Swords and Heroes.

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, this titanic 464-page tome showcases the vigour, the verve, the sheer life-loving vitality that distinguishes this crucial fantasy subgenre.

“If you find yourself lost or bored by the endless discussions of what exactly constitutes ‘sword and sorcery’, then Neither Beg Nor Yield will hit you with the answer. It's all about the Attitude!”
