Description
My name is T. H. Brandt (though there are some who call me "Tim"). I'm a self-published author and a lifelong fan of books and genre fiction.
On this channel, I talk mostly about classic fantasy, science fiction, and pulp, with a smattering of other book-related subjects. If it's got action, adventure, swords, or sorcery, I'm into it!
I also review books from the indie/self-pub scene from time to time.

The number of people who have taken from Moorcock and then pretended to not know who he even was is truly astounding.

actually it was confirmed by the writers that king huron was an influence on the god emperor not just solely leto atreides from dune.

It’s really strange how Moorcock kind of just vanished from prominence. Back in the day, he was essentially the anti-Tolkien: the father of dark fantasy. Everyone I knew who liked fantasy and heavy metal revered him. And then (probably due to publishing issues, his lineup was confusing to follow in print and/or out of print for a while) he just sort of vanished from the public eye, despite being the guy who inspired folks like GRRM, the guy who invented steampunk (Warlords of the Air), one of the main inspirations for 40k and who wrote everyone’s favorite fantasy bad boy: Elric of Melniboné.

He also wrote the song "Veteran of the Psychic Wars" which is basically 40k in song form.

Every time people talk about what 40k stole they mention Dune, Lovecraft and Starship Troopers, but they never talk about the Eternal Champion, really troubling considering the whole chaos thing is from Moorcock.

I'd heard people say that Games Workshop just ripped off Moorcock before but I hadnt realized just how much they took from him for 40k.

The Eternal Champion series has a Realm of Chaos, one of the ECs is basically the Primarch Magnus, there is an artifact similar to the Talon of Horus....

There is too little Moorcock content - and even less Hawkmoon content on YT. Keep up the good work

Michael Moorcock: the most stolen-from, under-respected author in British fantasy. (GW, Sabkowski, 2000AD, etc. all doing the side-eye monkey meme rn.)

Animal mask thing reminds me about the Clans of BattleTech. Clan Wolf, Clan Jade Falcon, Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Sea Fox etc. And they got ceremonial masks too.

Funny how protective GW are about their intellectual rights, when you consider at the start they lifted and grafted an inordinate amount of 70/80's sci fi/fantasy into their backstories. It never really stopped, look at Guants Ghosts and the similarity with Sven Hassell's novels and characters, surely Cain is really a sci fi version of Flashman, Space Hulk and Aliens, the list goes on and on

Moorcock's prolific prose has always breathed life into Warhammer.
