Podcast Stories – Poking Fun at Fantasy Tropes April 25th, 2010

I’m catching up on PodCastle stories and they’ve run two recent tales which have had fun with twists on standard tropes and archetypes of fantasy stories. As it turns out they’re both entertaining tales by the same author, Tim Pratt.
Restless in my Hand examines the possible reasons for the delays in a hero’s journey and Another End of the Empire follows a dark lord’s exploits to try and escape a dire prophecy. Fun stuff. If you enjoy fantasy and good audio fiction, they’re worth checking out. Fun stuff. If you enjoy fantasy and good audio fiction, they’re worth checking out.
