This collection contains some of REH's best work, including "Kings of the Night," "The Dark Man," and "Worms of the Earth" (and includes an early draft of the latter tale).

Contains "Worms in the Earth," one of Howard's best stories. These are all short stories featuring Bran Mak Morn. There are later collections that have these stories as well.
