Ah... "heroic fantasy novella" is to the literary field what "jumbo shrimp" is to gastronomy.

If this sounds like it was written by a sixteen year old, it is because it was. The late Jim Theis was a swell guy who went on to get his degree in journalism. The original work was a contribution to a fanzine, OSFAN, and some of the misspellings and run-on nouns likely resulted from having been typed on a mimeograph stencil in someone's spare time. Correcting mimeograph stencils is painful, nerve-wracking and messy; the unpaid typist doubtless had more earthly responsibilities. I wonder how many people could have written anything better when they were sixteen.

And I now want to hear Jim Theis read wotsit - Edrador or whatever - which, unfortunately, is not going to happen for the obvious reason.

I nominate it for an entry into the next Bulwer-Lytton Fiction Contest.
