The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian
by Robert E. Howard
Conan is one of the greatest fictional heroes ever createdâ a swordsman who cuts a swath across the lands of the Hyborian Age, facing powerful sorcerers, deadly creatures, and ruthless armies of thieves and reavers. âBetween the years when the oceans drank Atlantis and the gleaming cities . . . there was an Age undreamed of, when shining kingdoms lay spread across the world like blue mantles beneath the stars. . . . Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand . . . to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.â In a meteoric career that spanned a mere twelve years before his tragic suicide, Robert E. Howard single-handedly invented the genre that came to be called sword and sorcery. Collected in this volume, profusely illustrated by artist Mark Schultz, are Howardâs first thirteen Conan stories, appearing in their original versionsâin some cases for the first time in more than seventy yearsâand in the order Howard wrote them. Along with classics of dark fantasy like âThe Tower of the Elephantâ and swashbuckling adventure like âQueen of the Black Coast,â The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian contains a wealth of material never before published in the United States, including the first submitted draft of Conanâs debut, âPhoenix on the Sword,â Howardâs synopses for âThe Scarlet Citadelâ and âBlack Colossus,â and a map of Conanâs world drawn by the author himself. Here are timeless tales featuring Conan the raw and dangerous youth, Conan the daring thief, Conan the swashbuckling pirate, and Conan the commander of armies. Here, too, is an unparalleled glimpse into the mind of a genius whose bold storytelling style has been imitated by many, yet equaled by none.

Book
The Bloody Crown of Conan
by Robert E. Howard
In his hugely influential and tempestuous career, Robert E. Howard created the genre that came to be known as sword and sorceryâand brought to life one of fantasyâs boldest and most enduring figures: Conan the Cimmerianâreaver, slayer, barbarian, king. âStories such as âThe People of the Black Circleâ glow with the fierce and eldritch light of [Howardâs] frenzied intensity.ââStephen King This lavishly illustrated volume gathers together three of Howardâs longest and most famous Conan storiesâtwo of them printed for the first time directly from Howardâ s typescriptâalong with a collection of the authorâs previously unpublished and rarely seen outlines, notes, and drafts. Longtime fans and new readers alike will agree that The Bloody Crown of Conan merits a place of honor on every fantasy loverâs bookshelf. THE PEOPLE OF THE BLACK CIRCLE Amid the towering crags of Vendhya, in the shadowy citadel of the Black Circle, Yasmina of the golden throne seeks vengeance against the Black Seers. Her only ally is also her most formidable enemyâConan, the outlaw chief.

A WITCH SHALL BE BORN A malevolent witch of evil beauty. An enslaved queen. A kingdom in the iron grip of ruthless mercenaries. And Conan, who plots deadly vengeance against the human wolf who left him in the desert to die.
