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”.

- 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 overwhelme... (show all)d the original Conan that Robert E. Howard has been obscured, even among Conan fans, as lost as the Hyborian Age.
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)Thus spoke the round red god of Yekub in a far-off segment of the space-time continuum to George Campbell as the latter, with all human desire purged away, sat on a throne and ruled an empire of worms more wisely, kindly and benevolently than any man of Earth had ever ruled an empire of men.
