This is a nice little collection in the style of Cthulhu, an earlier REH anthology of horror stories. The premise is that REH wrote horror tales in the same vein as H.P. Lovecraft. Indeed the subtitle is “The Cthulhu Mythos Fiction of Robert E. Howard”.

Epigraph
Dedication
This book is for Marc Cerasini, brother-in-arms in Howard's Legion.
First words
Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) is best known as the creator of Conan the Cimmerian, though in these latter days it is to be feared that the various media mutations and pastiche reincarnations of the character have so overwhelmed the original Conan that Robert E. Howard has been obscured, even among Conan fans, as lost as the Hyborian Age.

Book description
Robert E. Howard is the world-renowned author of the Conan series and the stories that were the basis of the recent Kull movie. He frequently corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft, and authored many pivotal Mythos tales. This book collects together all of Howard's Mythos tales, including those which originated Gol-Goroth, the Black Book (Unaussprechlichen Kulten), and Friedrich Von Junzt --- all the stories that are usually considered his Cthulhu Mythos yarns, plus another batch that make use of Arthur Machen's lore of the Little People and help fill out the picture implicit in a couple of the over Mythos tales. A third group are tales which Howard did not intend in a Lovecraftian vein but which feature creations later assimilated into the Mythos, whether by Howard, Lovecraft, or later writers. Four Howard fragments are presented here with additional text by yours truly, C. J. Henderson, Joe Pulver, and August Derleth.
