Bøger af Robert E. Howard

Conan the Barbarian - a warrior from the Northern wastes of Cimmeria, fighting his way through soft-bellied Hyboria and on to the Throne. Conan is the compelling hero at the centre of a wild ride of intrigue and mayhem, stalking lands that are savage in tooth and claw. His age is a time of chaos and destruction, of empires and wizards, of battles won and loves lost. The wild Cimmerian is captured by his scheming enemies and imprisoned in dank dungeons, surrounded by monsters and haunted by his own demons. Will he escape? Will he regain his throne? In the savage land of Conan the Barbarian anything is possible. The only certainty is that success in the Hyborian age comes at a price - and that price is blood.Also known as Conan the Conqueror.

Robert E. Howard ranks amongst the greatest pulp writers of all time, and is regarded as the father of the sword-and-sorcery genre. His wider body of work is often overshadowed by his most famous creation, Conan the Barbarian, but Howard wrote a great amount of timeless horror and mystery tales that had nothing to do with Conan. Collected here, covering the whole of his career, are Howard's greatest lesser-known pulp tales. Includes 'Pigeons from Hell' ¿ described by Stephen King as "one of the finest horror stories of our century."
