  • Bran Mak Morn: The Last King: A Novel

    Robert E. Howard

    Paperback (Del Rey, May 31, 2005)
    From Robert E. Howard’s fertile imagination sprang some of fiction’s greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howard’s characters, none embodied his creator’s brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn, the last king of a doomed race. In ages past, the Picts ruled all of Europe. But the descendants of those proud conquerors have sunk into barbarism . . . all save one, Bran Mak Morn, whose bloodline remains unbroken. Threatened by the Celts and the Romans, the Pictish tribes rally under his banner to fight for their very survival, while Bran fights to restore the glory of his race. Lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, this collection gathers together all of Howard’s published stories and poems featuring Bran Mak Morn–including the eerie masterpiece “Worms of the Earth” and “Kings of the Night,” in which sorcery summons Kull the conqueror from out of the depths of time to stand with Bran against the Roman invaders. Also included are previously unpublished stories and fragments, reproductions of manuscripts bearing Howard’s handwritten revisions, and much, much more. Special Bonus: a newly discovered adventure by Howard, presented here for the very first time.
  • Conan the Conqueror: The Hour of the Dragon

    Robert E. Howard

    Paperback (Independently published, July 8, 2020)
    The Hour of the Dragon, also known as Conan the Conqueror, is a fantasy novel written by Robert E. Howard featuring his seminal sword and sorcery hero Conan the Cimmerian. It was the last Conan story published before Howard’s suicide although not the last to be written. The plot is a loosely based melange of motifs from previous Conan short stories, most notably The Scarlet Citadel, with which it shares an almost identical storyline. It takes place when Conan is about forty-five, during his reign as King of Aquilonia, and follows a plot by a group of conspirators to depose him in favor of Valerius, heir to Conan’s predecessor Numedides, whom he had slain to gain the throne.

  • The Bloody Crown of Conan

    Robert E. Howard

    language (GoodBook Classics, Oct. 2, 2014)
    This volume gathers together three of Robert E. Howard's longest and most famous Conan stories: “The people of the Black Circle”, “The Hour of the Dragon” and “A Witch Shall Be Born”. Amid the towering crags of Vendhya, in the shadowy citadel of the Black Circle, Yasmina of the golden throne seeks vengeance against the Black Seers. Her only ally is also her most formidable enemy - Conan, the outlaw chief.Quotes from the book:“The king of Vendhya was dying. Through the hot, stifling night the temple gongs boomed and the conchs roared.”“Conan has stolen the Devi out of the fortress and carried her away into the hills!”“You have received no word from the chief of the barbarians?”Readers' reviews:“The second of the Conan anthologies presents Howard at the peak of his craft, featuring some of his long-form work in a novella, a single short story, and Howard's only completed novel.” (Jared Millet, goodreads.com)“This is the second volume of Conan stories. This book only has three stories, but one of them, the Hour of the Dragon, is novel length. Great book. Howard throws you right into the action, and gives very vivid descriptions.” (Michael, goodreads.com)“Classic fiction from a man long overdue for the recognition of mastery that he demonstrates in this volume. More authors would do well to take note of his use of language, both in what he uses as well as how he uses it, so they could tell more story within their fat genre novels and add value to them.” (Bradford, goodreads.com)
  • The Hour of the Dragon: Conan the Conqueror

    Robert E. Howard

    eBook (Perennial Press, April 2, 2018)
    The plot is a loosely based melange of motifs from previous Conan short stories, most notably "The Scarlet Citadel", with which it shares an almost identical storyline. It takes place when Conan is about forty-five, during his reign as King of Aquilonia, and follows a plot by a group of conspirators to depose him in favor of Valerius, heir to Conan's predecessor Numedides, whom he had slain to gain the throne. To accomplish this they resort to necromancy, resurrecting Xaltotun, an ancient sorcerer from the pre-Hyborian empire of Acheron. With his aid the Aquilonian army is defeated by that of the rival kingdom of Nemedia and occupied. Conan, captured, is slated for execution until the sympathetic slave girl Zenobia risks her life to free him. Conan's quest to retrieve the Heart of Ahriman in order to defeat the wizard and regain his throne takes him through all the lands of Hyboria...

  • The People of the Black Circle

    Robert E. Howard

    eBook (River Drafting, Aug. 11, 2011)
    "The People of the Black Circle" is one of the original short stories about Conan the Cimmerian, written by American author Robert E. Howard and first published in Weird Tales magazine in three parts over the September, October and November 1934 issues. Howard earned $250 for the publication of this story.It is set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age and concerns Conan kidnapping a regal princess of Vendhya (pre-historical India) and foiling a nefarious plot of world domination by the Black Seers of Yimsha. Due to its epic scope and atypical Hindustan flavor, the story is considered an undisputed classic of Conan lore and is often cited by Howard scholars as one of his best tales. It is also one of the few Howard stories where the reader is treated a deeper insight on magic and magicians beyond the stereotypical Hyborian depiction as demon conjurer-illusionist-priests.This Conan story is set in mythical Hyborian versions of India-Pakistan (then united) and Afghanistan (Vendhya and Ghulistan respectively).-from Wikipedia
