October 28, 2008
Before I begin this review, I want to note that I have enjoyed Robert E. Howard's fiction for a number of years, first discovering the old Ace Conan paperbacks (with the Frazetta covers) back in high school. With that said, The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard is a grand showcase of Howard's prowess at writing a scary tale, though the quality of the stories featured herein varies from one extreme... more

| 2. The Best of Robert E. Howard Volume 1: Crimson Shadows (Best of Robert E Howard) |
|
By: Robert E. Howard
Publisher: Del Rey
August 14, 2007
The stories written by Robert E. Howard are distinct and classic in their own right. Thinking back when I first found the Conan series (after first watching Conan The Barbarian) I was immersed in any REH work I could find. At that time it was only Conan. As I read my treasured paperbacks to tatters I looked over the years to replace them with new ones.
Now I have discovered the other... more

| 6. Kull: Exile of Atlantis |
|
By: Robert E. Howard
Publisher: Subterranean
June 30, 2008
Kull, the Atlantean exile that became King of Valusia, is far more than simply a precursor of Conan, though some of the parallels are striking. The physical descriptions of the two are similar, though Kull's grey eyes were replaced by Conan's blue eyes. But the Kull stories stand very well on their own. This volume, including all of the published Kull stories as well as several unpublished ones (including... more

By: Robert Ervin Howard
Publisher: Bison Books
April 01, 2005
As a kid I read the majority of Robert E Howard's Conan stories, and though I've moved on to more "literary" interests I've retained a soft spot for the ol' mother-loving, self-killing pulp writer. A lifelong lover of history, I recently got the urge to check out some of REH's rarer historical fiction, which has conveniently been placed together in this definitive volume, Lord of Samarcand. more

By: Robert E. Howard
Publisher: Del Rey
November 29, 2005
Robert E. Howard seems to finally be getting his due. He was, without a doubt, one of the best fantasy writers of all time. Not only fantasy, but numerous other genres came to life under his brillant pen. Do yourself a favor and read this book. Then read all the other Conan editions. Then take a deep breath and plunge into the worlds of Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, Breckenridge Ellis, El Borak, and... more

By: Robert E. Howard
Publisher: Cosmos Books
2008-07
Many times we pick up a brief bit of fiction for a reprieve from the study of deep lore or historical fact. In this case, you will be sorely disappointed. This is not little dime store novel. This is a journey of alchemical and spiritual allegory disguised as a novel. Excellent read. Open your mind and enjoy... more

| 10. And Their Memory Was a Bitter Tree |

By: Robert E Howard
Publisher: BlackBart Books
September 01, 2008
Unfortunately, this collection does not live up to it's potential. Conan plus Frazetta should equal five stars, but in this case the Frazetta art is presented poorly and the Howard stories, while excellent, are not among his best. If you want Howard, look to the Del Rey books. As for Frazetta, the Legacy/Icon titles are terrific... more
