He is currently the executive director of Green Knight Publishing's fiction line and a freelance author with a half-dozen fantasy and dark fantasy novels to his credit, including Prince of Lies and The Ring of Winter , as well as short fiction, essays, and book reviews for such diverse publications as Amazing Stories and The New England Journal of History . The Pendragon fiction line presents the best of modern Arthurian literature, from reprints of long-unavailable classics of the early 20th century to new works by today's most exciting and inventive fantasists. The titles in the series are selected for their value to both the casual reader and the devoted scholar of the rich, varied story cycle known as the Matter of Britain. The Doom of Camelot gathers 14 short tales and a pair of poems on the matter of what led to the collapse of Camelot and King Arthur's fellowship of Knights of the Round Table. A modern collection which targets a specific question in Arthurian lore is interesting in that, unlike most of the original source material, the particular question is at the forefront, not buried amongst a number of side-tracks and peripheral events and characters which only an Arthurian scholar can really sift through to reach the kernel of the matter.
Some stories come in the form of recollections of the major participants.
A nice cover by Marc Fishman in the pre-Raphaelite style and short but informative author blurbs at the end of the book make even the book's trimmings pleasing. Certainly for fans of Arthurian lore, The Doom of Camelot is a worthwhile read, and while it might not be suited for the entirely unversed reader, the writing is solid and sufficiently varied as to appeal to many readers.
