Howard (variant of Blades of the Brotherhood)

Foreword (The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane).

Lovecraft’s moving tribute to his friend and fellow literary genius. This edition also features exclusive story fragments, a biography of Howard by scholar Rusty Burke, and “In Memoriam,” H. Here are shudder-inducing tales of vengeful ghosts and bloodthirsty demons, of dark sorceries wielded by evil men and women, all opposed by a grim avenger armed with a fanatic’s faith and a warrior’s savage heart. Together they constitute a sprawling epic of weird fantasy adventure that stretches from sixteenth-century England to remote African jungles where no white man has set foot.

A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. But Conan wasn’t the first archetypal adventurer to spring from Howard’s fertile imagination. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century-he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery.
