Morgan le Fay, Queen of Gore (Arthur Dies at the End) (Volume 2)

DID YOU KNOW:

• When King Arthur conquered Rome, it was so boring Sir Gawaine wandered off partway through?
• Everybody was always mad at Sir Kay for no clear reason?
• The only way to reliably defeat Sir Lancelot was to surrender to him?
• During his big introductory quest, Sir Gareth met two completely different guys calling themselves ‘the Red Knight from the Red Lands?’

If you did know all those things, clearly you’ve read Le Morte d’Arthur by Sir Thomas Malory, and I pity you. No one should have to slog through that pile of continuity errors and insipid descriptions of jousts. I’ve spent years of my life poring over all twenty-one Books of this foundational work of fantasy literature, dreadful as it is. Here, for your amusement and edification, I recount, dissect, and ruthlessly mock each ridiculous plot contrivance, each self-contradictory anecdote, and each unnamed damsel who runs in from offscreen and dies.

Arthur Dies at the End volume 2: Morgan le Fay, Queen of Gore covers Books IV through VII of Le Morte d’Arthur. Here you’ll find stories from King Arthur’s vigorous golden age. Morgan le Fay’s intricate betrayal! The time Arthur and Sir Kay teamed up to kill a giant! The time Sir Lancelot took out two giants all by himself, and the other time Sir Lancelot napped his way to glory!

ARTHUR DIES AT THE END: I read Le Morte d’Arthur so you don’t have to!
