| 1. The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian: The Original Adventures of the Greatest Sword and Sorcery Hero of All Time! | 
|
By: Robert E. Howard Publisher: Del Rey December 02, 2003
"Conan" is your typical insensitive brute floating through life with no rhyme or reason to the consideration of others, save for the woman he favors at the time. One wonders if Howard really meant to write this kind of character with this kind of story.
The prose is rich and vibrant, but Conan himself is not a character to be admired for anything beyond brute animal survivalist savagery... more

| 4. The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard | 
|
By: Robert E. Howard Publisher: Tantor Media March 29, 2010
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.

| 5. The Conquering Sword of Conan (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 3) | 
|
By: Robert E. Howard Publisher: Del Rey November 29, 2005
I used to think that Conan was pure junk food reading until I got this series. It turns out, the L Sprague DeCamp stuff is what was garbage. Get this series of books, and you'll see that Robert Howard was an amazing writer without other people turning him into pulp fiction. The stories in this volume are the last he wrote and show amazing maturity as a writer compared to the earlier ones. more
