Robert E. Howard is one of the most prolific short story writers in American history, and has created such beloved characters as Conan the Barbarian, Kull of Atlantis, Soloman Kane, Bran Mak Morn, El Borak, and Dark Agnès de Chastillon. He tragically passed away in 1936.
“Howard’s writing seems so highly charged that it nearly gives off
sparks.”—Stephen King
“I adore these books. Howard had a gritty, vibrant style–broadsword
writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly
larger than life. I heartily recommend them to anyone who loves
fantasy.”—David Gemmell, author of Legend and White Wolf
“The voice of Robert E. Howard still resonates after decades with
readers– equal parts ringing steel, thunderous horse hooves, and
spattered blood. Far from being a stereotype, his creation of Conan
is the high heroic adventurer. His raw muscle and sinews, boiling
temper, and lusty
laughs are the gauge by which all modern heroes must be
measured.”—Eric Nyulnd, author of Halo: The Fall of Reach and
Signal to Noise
“That teller of marvelous tales, Robert Howard, did indeed create a
giant [Conan] in whose shadow other ‘hero tales’ must stand.”–John
Jakes, New York Times bestselling author of the North and South
trilogy
“For stark, living fear . . . What other writer is even in the
running with Robert E. Howard?”—H. P. Lovecraft
