Appendix N: The Literary History of Dungeons & Dragons by Jeffro Johnson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed the subject matter and the insights on books inspiring the creation of Dungeons and Dragons. It made me realize there was more influences than Tolkien, Lieber, Howard and Moorcock.
I didn't realize HP Lovecraft, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Roger Zelazny, and Philip Jose Farmer had their effect on D&D either.
Jack Vance, and Lord Dunsany are the ones that I am going to investigate more.
