Robert E. Howard, Science Fiction Collection by Robert E. Howard Pdf

Robert Ervin Howard (1906 - 1936) was an American author who wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard was born and raised in the state of Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains with some time spent in nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was 23. Thereafter, until his death at the age of 30 by suicide, Howard's writings were published in a wide selection of magazines, journals, and newspapers, and he had become successful in several genres. Although a Conan novel was nearly published into a book in 1934, his stories never appeared in book form during his lifetime. The main outlet for his stories was in the pulp magazine Weird Tales.

Conan's Brethren by Robert E. Howard Pdf

A sumptuous collection of epic fantasy heroes from the pen of Robert E. Howard, one of the true Masters of Fantasy Robert E. Howard was a pulpwriter who turned his hand to everything from historical adventure and detective stories to Western and boxing fiction - and invented the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery: it is for these tales of heroic fantasy and horror that he is best remembered. His mighty heroes - including an English Puritan adventurer sent on redressing grievous wrongs, the king of a mythical, antediluvian empire contemporary with Atlantis, a Pictish warrior-king - all these brothers of the sword and more bestrode the pages of WEIRD TALES and the other pulp magazines of the twenties and thirties. This companion volume follows on from the success of the first Gollancz Big Black Book featuring Howard's world-famous barbarian king, and contains all the stories featuring his brothers-in-arms, collected together in chronological order, as fresh and atmospheric today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines of more than eighty years ago. Compiled by and with an Afterword by award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones, and with cover image, frontispiece and internal pictures by the award-winning artist Les Edwards.

The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard by Robert E. Howard Pdf

Here are Robert E. Howard’s greatest horror tales, all in their original, definitive versions. Some of Howard’s best-known characters—Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and sailor Steve Costigan among them—roam the forbidding locales of the author’s fevered imagination, from the swamps and bayous of the Deep South to the fiend-haunted woods outside Paris to remote jungles in Africa. The collection includes Howard’s masterpiece “Pigeons from Hell,” which Stephen King calls “one of the finest horror stories of [the twentieth] century,” a tale of two travelers who stumble upon the ruins of a Southern plantation–and into the maw of its fatal secret. In “Black Canaan” even the best warrior has little chance of taking down the evil voodoo man with unholy powers–and none at all against his wily mistress, the diabolical High Priestess of Damballah. In these and other lavishly illustrated classics, such as the revenge nightmare “Worms of the Earth” and “The Cairn on the Headland,” Howard spins tales of unrelenting terror, the legacy of one of the world’s great masters of the macabre.

The Robert E. Howard Rare Tales MEGAPACK® by Robert E. Howard Pdf

This collection is meant to supplement the many other collections of Howard material being released. Due to the complex copyright rules in the United States, a substantial body of REH material remains in the public domain -- even as we approach the 90th anniversary of his passing. As a result, many of the stories in this book cannot be republished in the United States without an often-costly license from the current copyright holders. This makes for incomplete collections of public domain works, many of which leave these stories out. Here, then, are six tales of Conan, a Solomon Kane story, a Sailor Steve Costigan story, plus a Western and a horror story: THE PHOENIX ON THE SWORD (Conan) THE SCARLET CITADEL (Conan) THE TOWER OF THE ELEPHANT (Conan) BLACK COLOSSUS (Conan) THE POOL OF THE BLACK ONE (Conan) ROGUES IN THE HOUSE (Conan) SEA CURSE (Steve Costigan) THE FOOTFALLS WITHIN (Solomon Kane) VULTURES’ SANCTUARY (Western) PIGEONS FROM HELL (horror) If you enjoy this volume in Wildside Press's bestselling MEGAPACK® series, check out the 400+ other volumes in the series, covering science fiction, fantasy, horror, mysteries, westerns...and much, much more!
