Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) stands among the most influential voices of early twentieth-century fantasy and weird fiction, celebrated for his vivid imagination, powerful storytelling, and unforgettable heroes. While best known as the creator of Conan the Barbarian, Howard revealed his darkest and most atmospheric side in the tales of Solomon Kane — a grim Puritan swordsman who roams a dangerous world battling injustice, ancient evil, and supernatural terror.
