  The SF Site Featured Review: The First & Second Books of Lankhmar
Of almost equal importance as a character is the city of Lankhmar and the world of Nehwon (an anagram for no when) itself.
A pastiche of dark alleyways, bazaars and temples, ruled by caprice and shadowy guilds, amoral Lankhmar is a fetid blend of the ordinary and exotic, opulence and slum, a metropolis of dark Dickensian proportions bordering industrial parks over which hang perpetual clouds of smog, where the medieval mirrors the modern.
Finally, there is a decided erotic tone to many of the tales, and while Leiber occasionally missteps, as in the late story "The Mouser Goes Below," into adolescent male fantasy, for the most part his eroticism is balanced by deprecating wit and barbs directed at any form of hubris, sexual or otherwise.

  Fritz Leiber: Ill Met in Lankhmar - an infinity plus review
Three further Lankhmar volumes are forthcoming from Millennium, and unless some material has been unearthed for posthumous publication, these books will also be of reprinted work.
Fritz Leiber is dead, and for all his faults (literary or otherwise: his flair for spending money on drink springs to mind as an example of the latter category), he should be entitled to the dignity of a place in the fantasy archive.
Fafhrd, at the beginning of the volume is a young, slightly arrogant, man who is keen to explore; to go to "that putrid festering of the hot south, where there is no natural stern cold to punish the foolish and luxurious and to see that the decencies are kept", as his mother would have it.
