Fritz Leiber's Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser by Howard Chaykin

Either way, it was cool to see him interacting with some Northerners from the Cold Waste again. For a while I wasn't sure if Fafhrd was under a spell, time traveling, or still in the present. I also loved how Newhon has there own sunken 'Atlantis' or 'R'lyeh' that is the focus of the story. I loved the Tolkien-esque opening to the plot, with Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser fishing and finding an ancient ring/king. I stayed out walking a little longer today so I could finish 'The Sunken Land.' Despite this short story being mostly a one-man show focusing on Fafhrd, I still enjoyed it a great deal. I own the four issues already, having just recently completed the mini series, but I'll probably pick up the collection, too. I just started listening to 'The Howling Tower' and that seems to possibly take place in the same geographical location roughly as 'The Bleak Shore' (across the ocean and not on some other planet or other dimension). I did enjoy the implied cosmic horror elements, but I'm not sure if they are actual cosmic horror or not. I'm going to have to give this a re-listen, though, especially the beginning, as I think I didn't quite pick up everything I should have. Once the tale gets back to Fafhrd and the Mouser it really took off in my eyes. He goes from his usual third person omniscient to having a supporting character tell the story, and then back to his third person omniscient pov. Having just finished 'The Bleak Shore,' I'm a bit in awe of Leiber.

I've since moved on to listening to Swords against Death, which, so far is made up of short stories.
