What We're Reading Now:
I've always been a huge fan of gritty, bloody, hard-hitting heroic fantasy (especially Conan the Barbarian). Robert E. Howard created Conan and the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery. A great story teller, Howard's writing pulsates with a visceral energy that has never been equalled. This new collection combines three of the longer Conan stories, including Howard's only novel-length work, Hour of the Dragon. For Conan fans familiar only with the watered-down comic books, bad movies, and homogenized novels by other writers, this volume offers readers a chance to experience the character as originally conceived by a master storyteller who is too often overlooked.

Howard includes three of the most popular stories of the original barbarian hero, Conan of Cimmeria, by his creator and the most influential sword and sorcery writer of the 20th century.
