Point of View in Sword & Sorcery Fiction
2026/06/22
In this episode of Rogues in the House, Logan, Matt, and James talk about the importance of POV as it related to Sword & Sorcery and Dark Fantasy. If you can't iron down your point-of-view, then you've got a pile of garbage no matter how good the prose is. They talk about different styles of POV, multiple POV, psychic distance, and the purpose of a narrator.

2024/10/30
For Spooky Season 2024, the Rogues review Panos Cosmatos’ 2018 masterpiece, Mandy. No shirts were ripped, but there was some talk of thews. Conan and the City of the Dead author, John C. Hocking, and Just the Axe, Ma’am’s Kevin Beckett stand-in for Logan and Deane while they chop wood together in the forest. We hope they do not run afoul of the Black Skulls.
