Is anyone here familiar with the old Flashing Swords volumes of short stories?

I am indeed! There were some pretty good stories in that series, as I recall - although it's probably been about 25 years since I first read them.Is anyone here familiar with the old Flashing Swords volumes of short stories?

might order the second collected volume of Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories.
I would have a really hard time recommending that one. IIRC, there's one really good story in there ("The Swords of Lankhmar"), but the rest range from meh to actively embarrassing. It's really not the ending that those two heroes deserved.
I'd seen similar comments but was hoping otherwise. I picked up the first collected volume as part of reading through Appendix N in the 1e DMG. I've read all of Lovecraft, Conan, Middle Earth, and the Dying Earth books. Any recommendations on which ones to do next?
