Book Hero thinking about your next read

A sumptuous hardback to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Robert E. Howard, one of the true Masters of Fantasy

The first time the complete Conan stories have been collected in one HB The Fantasy Masterwork editions of the Conan stories strong backlist sellers Robert E Howard was one of the most influential of the writers of pulp fantasy; CONAN is known the world over 'Howard was the Thomas Wolfe of fantasy, and most of his Conan tales seem to almost fall over themselves in their need to get out' Stephen King 'A hero of mythic proportion, fashioned by a storyteller who helped define what a modern fantasy should be. "Rogues in the House" is one of the finest tales of sword and sorcery ever written' Raymond E. Feist 'Howard possessed a vitality his followers never captured' Michael Moorcock Will feature a brand new cover painting and frontispiece by the award-winning artist Les Edwards

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Conan the Cimmerian: the boy-thief who became a mercenary, who fought and loved his way across fabled lands to become King of Aquilonia.

Neither supernatural fiends nor demonic sorcery could oppose the barbarian warrior as he wielded his mighty sword and dispatched his enemies to a bloody doom on the battlefields of the legendary Hyborian age.

Collected together in one volume for the very first time, in chronological order, are Robert E. Howard's tales of the legendary hero, as fresh and atmospheric today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines of more than seventy years ago.

Compiled by and with a foreword and afterword by award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones.
