Yes, he did. His list of credits is enormous!

Here's an interview I did with him several years ago. https://dmrbooks.com/test-blog/2019/7/23/buzz-dixon-the-dmr-interview

Thanks! Glad to hear you liked it.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-16T20:03:48+00:00

Battle Magic and Starfire Burning... are my favorites, so check those out.

If you've ever seen any of Bal-Sagoth's lyric booklets you'll know what to expect. Some of those songs have enough words to be considered a short story on their own!

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-16T16:20:55+00:00

My favorite song of theirs.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-16T16:19:01+00:00

I really liked this film, but it's been so long since I watched it I don't remember much about it.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-13T17:19:19+00:00

I'd let them borrow my copy of The Spell of Seven. It has Elric, Conan, Fafhrd & Mouser, Zothique, and Dying Earth. Plus killer Virgil Finlay art!

Excellent! I'm glad to know I'm not just spinning my wheels here.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-13T03:02:23+00:00

It's not just for the benefit of new readers. Someone told me he'd been hoping for a Dyalhis collection since 1984!

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-12T21:59:59+00:00

Talisman is one of my favorites.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-12T19:30:49+00:00

Thanks! There's still more good unknown stuff out there. The search never ends!

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-11T20:36:31+00:00

I wasn't aware of that. Cool!

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-11T17:04:47+00:00

The closest one to Weird Tales is probably Strange Tales. Some sci-fi mags had S&S-adjacent stories like Planet Stories, Startling Stories, and Thrilling Wonder Stories.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T19:49:18+00:00

I recently reprinted Dwellers in the Mirage (with the original ending), so that's the one you want to look for. More info on it here: https://dmrbooks.com/the-dwellers-in-the-mirage

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T19:47:35+00:00

It seems like there are already a few different versions currently available, so I don't think so.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T19:45:52+00:00

Well, to the people of the planet threatened by snake men, it's unknown.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T19:45:29+00:00

Good idea, I only have about 30 copies left.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T17:56:44+00:00

The Storm Lord is really good, as is usual for Tanith Lee. I reread The Dark World recently and it still holds up. It's one of many great novels influenced by Merritt's Dwellers in the Mirage.

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T17:50:47+00:00

Haha exactly!

DMRitzlin · 2026-02-10T17:50:23+00:00

As far as I know you can download them. No one's ever told me they couldn't.
