Description

Conan the Cimmerian: he rose from boy-thief and mercenary to become kingof 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 for the first time anywhere in the world, in chronological order, are all Robert E. Howard's definitive stories of Conan, exactly as he wrote them, as fresh, atmospheric and vibrant today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines more than sixty years ago.

Author Biography

SALES POINTS #8 in the Millennium Fantasy Masterworks series, a library of the most original and influential fantasy ever written '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 "Pure adventure yarns with a touch of weirdness" H.P. Lovecraft "Howard possessed a vitality his followers never captured.' Michael Moorcock
