Blood and Thunder: The Life and Art of Robert E. Howard

Robert E. Howard
Robert E. Howard published primarily in pulp magazines, creating memorable characters like Conan of Cimmeria. After his suicide at the age of 30, pulps continued publishing Howard material posthumously. His first hardcover book appeared in 1937, a year after his death. That book, A Gent from Bear Creek, is the holy grail for Howard collectors--only 12 original copies are known to exist. This invaluable resource for Howard collectors has information for every known published work. Initial chapters provide a biography, discuss Howard's literary legacy, and give basic tips about book collecting and selling. The main body of the work is a bibliography of Howard's published works from 1925 through 2005. A thorough index locates the publication of every Howard story or poem.
The Hyborian Age
"The Hyborian Age" by Robert E. Howard is a fascinating and foundational work that introduces the mythical prehistory of the Conan the Barbarian universe. Written as a scholarly account, this brief yet intricate essay provides readers with a detailed history of a forgotten age, a time before recorded history, when civilizations rose and fell in the land of Hyboria. Howard's world-building in this piece forms the backdrop for many of his famous stories about Conan, offering readers a deeper understanding of the ancient world that shaped the legendary hero. In "The Hyborian Age," Howard presents a rich tapestry of civilizations, cultures, and peoples, each with their own strengths, weaknesses,...

The Hour of the Dragon
Conan is besieged by enemies! Xaltotun, an ancient sorcerer attacks the Kingdom of Aquilonia! The only way to defeat him is to retrieve the Heart of Ahriman!
Treasures of Tartary
One situation which Howard liked to use was the American hero in the Middle East. In the opening paragraph of "Treasures of Tartary," it is Kirby O'Donnell who finds himself plunging into the middle of a battle in a dark alley in Shahrazar. Though O'Donnell is an American, he dresses like an Arab, is fluent in their languages, and is burned so dark by the sun that he can pass for a native, which he does in this story. None of the other characters are aware of his true identity. Yet Howard frequently refers to O'Donnell as "the American," reminding the reader that O'Donnell is an outsider, someone who despite his appearance will always be a Westerner and not truly a part of the surroundings in which he finds himself.
The Cthulhu Stories of Robert E. Howard
A collection of short fiction set in the Lovecraftian cosmic horror universe from “a masterful storyteller” (Publishers Weekly). In the early twentieth-century, in the pages of Weird Tales and other pulp magazines, H. P. Lovecraft created the Cthulhu Mythos and offered it to his friends, creating a shared mythology for much of their weird fiction. Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Barbarian, was one of those good friends. Fresh from dusty libraries dark with forbidden knowledge, these twelve Howard tales, bring Kull of Atlantis, Bran Mak Morn, and a steady band of warriors, adventurers, and scholars into the dark to face the Nameless and that which they left behind: Elder gods, nameless cosmic horrors greater and older than the gods themselves, ancient forms of life and worship from before the dawn of humanity. These are the Cthulhu Stories of Robert. E. Howard.
