The Best of Robert E. Howard Volume 1: Crimson Shadows

Posted by admin on March 14, 2012 Comments Off

Robert E. Howard is one of the most famous and influential pulp authors of the twentieth century. Though largely known as the man who invented the sword-and-sorcery genreâand for his iconic hero Conan the CimmerianâHoward also wrote horror tales, desert adventures, detective yarns, epic poetry, and more. This spectacular volume, gorgeously illustrated by Jim and Ruth Keegan, includes some of his best and most popular works.

Inside, readers will discover (or rediscover) such gems as âThe Shadow Kingdom,â featuring Kull of Atlantis and considered by many to be the first sword-and-sorcery story; âThe Fightinâest Pair,â part of one of Howardâs most successful series, chronicling the travails of Steve Costigan, a merchant seaman with fists of steel and a head of wood; âThe Grey God Passes,â a haunting tale about the passing of an age, told against the backdrop of Irish history and legend; âWorms of the Earth,â a brooding narrative featuring Bran Mak Morn, about which H. P. Lovecraft said, âFew readers will ever forget the hideous and compelling power of [this] macabre masterpieceâ; a historical poem relating a momentous battle between Cimbri and the legions of Rome; and âSharpâs Gun Serenade,â one of the last and funniest of the Breckinridge Elkins tales.

These thrilling, eerie, compelling, swashbuckling stories and poems have been restored to their original form, presented just as the author intended. There is little doubt that after more than seven decades the voice of Robert E. Howard continues to resonate with readers around the world.
