Should I read Sapkowski? I mostly read horror, and usually stuff that is short because I read a lot for work and am lazy. I love Lovecraft, James, Ligotti, etc, but occasionally get into fantasy. The problem is a lot of fantasy are doorstop books I never get through. I like REH and Fritz Leiber but I tried reading Name of the Wind because my gf loves it but never got very, god it was tedious. Another girl I like is a big Witcher fan, maybe just the games though idk, so thats got it into my head I should read the books, at least the short stories. Are they any good?

They're not great and the translation is pretty poorly done.

Go to the fantasy general thread, people there will reply you, we don't read books like this.

I enjoyed the first vignette of “The Last Wish”. Don’t mind the other comments; the other anons in this thread just reek of pseudo-intellectual dilettantism. I’ve read over 40 books this year (most of it literary fiction or poetry) and Sapkowski was more engaging than most of it.

I like the witcher series, but of course dont expect it something it is not.
Very easy to read which fits perfectly if you are doing it relax/before bed, especially the short story collection.
Of course i loved all three of the games so i inject a lot of head canona and game Canon into the books which makes the universe so much richer.
