About the author
Robert E. Howard
3,020 books2,661 followersRobert Ervin Howard was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror."
He is well known for having created—in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales—the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can only be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.

A collection of many of Howard's best poems, in a very nice edition.

In many ways, Howard's poetry is better than his stories.

If you like history, fantasy and dark poetry then Howard's work is for you. I enjoy all the history references throughout his work. Excellent book, highly recommended
