Book
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them printed for the first time directly from Howardâ s typescriptâalong with a collection of the authorâs previously unpublished and rarely seen outlines, notes, and drafts.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. THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON Toppled from the throne of Aquilonia by the evil machinations of an undead wizard, Conan must find the fabled jewel known as the Heart of Ahriman to reclaim his crown . . . and save his life. 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.

The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard
by Robert E. Howard
Here are Robert E. Howardâs greatest horror tales, all in their original, definitive versions. Some of Howardâs best-known charactersâSolomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and sailor Steve Costigan among themâroam the forbidding locales of the authorâs 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 Howardâs masterpiece âPigeons from Hell,â which Stephen King calls âone of the finest horror stories of [the twentieth] century,â a tale of two travelers who stumble upon the ruins of a Southern plantationâand into the maw of its fatal secret. In âBlack Canaanâ even the best warrior has little chance of taking down the evil voodoo man with unholy powersâand 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 âWorms of the Earthâ and âThe Cairn on the Headland,â Howard spins tales of unrelenting terror, the legacy of one of the worldâs great masters of the macabre.

On the high seas a ship falls victim to a marauding German U-boat. The vagaries of fate decree that soon the tables will be turned on the aggressors, and the survivors will take control. This story of war becomes something far more bizarre as the search for land and fresh water draws the polyglot crew into a subterranean channel which leads to an exotic, unknown world. When an enormous, amphibian reptile-of a type only known from distant prehistory-appears in living form and attacks, devouring a man in the process, the survivors realise that this is the start of a high adventure beyond anything they could have imagined. This Leonaur edition contains all three of Edgar Rice Burroughs' The Land that Time Forgot novels and is guaranteed to deliver all the thrills and spills that Burroughs' fans expect.

The Complete Moon Trilogy
by Edgar Rice Burroughs
Perhaps the most imaginative of the 'Planet' series - the entire 'Moon' adventures For 60 years all the nations of the Earth have been at war. Now peace has come, but, more momentously, contact has been made with Mars. Into these times steps Julian-a man aware of lives past and present-with a strange story to tell. Mars has launched a ship to Earth, but it is lost in space-now it is Earth's turn to make an attempt to reach Mars, and Julian is commander of the mission. Sabotage plunges the Earth craft into the moon where, hidden from Earth's view, civilizations thrive. There Julian becomes involved in a fierce struggle with the Kalkans. In the second adventure, another Julian must deal with the Kalkan invasion and occupation of Earth, as mankind is forced into serfdom and its technology destroyed. The American people of the third adventure are a nomadic horse nation, painted and feathered. Their chieftain is Julian-the Red Hawk-and he is planning the final defeat of the hated Kalkans after centuries of enmity and oppression. This is Edgar Rice Burroughs at his best, with all the thrills, spills, action and hairsbreadth escapes his fans expect. Here, for your enjoyment, are all the 'Moon' novels in a single volume.
