Robert 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.

Her ne kadar tür üzerine onlarca eser okumuş olsamda, türe hayat vermiş ustaların ellerinden kısa öyküler okumak çok güzel geldi. Bilinmeyen geçmiş ve gelecekte geçen, savaşların kılıç, balta, hançerle yapıldığı, büyücülerin hüküm sürdüğü, eski tanrılara tapılan çağlarda iyi ve kötünün savaşı farklı kısa öykülerle sunulmuş. Devamının gelmemiş olması çok yazık.
