Fritz Lieber; Lankhmar is the clear inspiration for Terry Pratchett's Ankh-Morpork, which I didn't know because this is the first Fritz Lieber I've ever read
I love the Lankhmar books! They're surprisingly funny and self-aware for how old they are; I never would have expected that you could have books parodying the fantasy genre approximately ten years after the modern fantasy genre began. I'd really recommend them if you like this one. They're also very slashy, if that's a bonus for you!
