Anthologies (non-poetry); Horror & ghost stories

Joins the successful Del Rey library of Robert E. Howard's classic works, of which there are now 230,000 copies in print.

These fully-illustrated volumes of original Robert E. Howard stories have been some of the most eagerly received Howard editions in decades.

Here are Robert E. Howard's greatest horror tales, all in their original, definitive versions.

Some of Howard's best-known characters-Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and sailor Steve

Costigan among them-roam the forbidding locales of the author's fevered imagination,

from the swamps and bayous of the Deep South to the fiend-haunted woods outside Paris

to remote jungles in Africa.

The collection includes Howard's masterpiece ""Pigeons

from Hell,"" which Stephen King calls ""one of the finest horror stories of

the twentieth

century,"" a tale of two travelers who stumble upon the ruins of a Southern plantation-and

into the maw of its fatal secret. In ""Black Canaan"" even the best warrior has little

chance of taking down the evil voodoo man with unholy powers-and none at all against

his wily mistress, the diabolical High Priestess of Damballah. In these and other

lavishly illustrated classics, such as the revenge nightmare ""Worms of the Earth""

and ""The Cairn on the Headland,"" Howard spins tales of unrelenting terror, the legacy

of one of the world's great masters of the macabre.

Reviews for The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard

For stark, living fear . . . what other writer is even in the running? H. P. Lovecraft [Behind Howard s stories] lurks a dark poetry and the timeless truth of dreams. Robert Bloch Howard had a gritty, vibrant style broadsword writing that cut its way to the heart, with heroes who are truly larger than life. David Gemmell Howard s writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks. Stephen King
