Robert E. Howard is the undisputed master of heroic fantasy, but his true terror lurks in the shadows. This essential collection reveals the dark heart of the pulp genius, showcasing his finest tales of horror, mystery, and cosmic dread.
Discover Howard's world where ancient evils stalk the modern age and the horrors of the past refuse to die. Inside, you will find:
-
Southern Gothic Terror: The chilling title story, Pigeons from Hell, where two travelers spend a night in an abandoned Southern manor and face a voodoo horror unlike any ghost story.
-
Mythos and Cosmic Fear: Encounter the grim, Lovecraftian darkness in tales like The Black Stone, which reveals a terrible legend hidden within a monolithic relic; The Children of the Night, concerning a prehistoric race haunting the present; and The Thing on the Roof, a story of forbidden rituals and ancient gods.
-
Historical and Dark Fantasy: Delve into the savage past with Worms of the Earth, a grim, vengeance-driven tale of the Picts and the elder things that dwell beneath the ground, and Delenda Est, a lost-world story of a Roman legion trapped in a hostile land.
-
Pulp Mystery and Adventure: Thrill to the bizarre in stories like The Hyena, The Fearsome Touch of Death, and the classic mystery The Cairn on the Headland.
From the swamps of the Deep South to the fog-shrouded hills of Scotland, this collection of twenty-three classics, including Wolfshead, Sea Curse, The Horror from the Mound, and Graveyard Rats, proves that Robert E. Howard was one of the 20th century's most electrifying and versatile writers of the macabre.
