Short Fiction

Description

Best known for his character Conan the Barbarian, during his short life Robert E. Howard also wrote prolifically in other genres, including horror, adventure, western and historical fiction. Foreign lands, sorcery and gritty characters are hallmarks of Howard’s literary work. Although the themes and contents of several stories have since become offensive, his corpus is a good representation of the culture and beliefs of his time.

Collected here are some of Howard’s short stories known to be public domain. The stories were first published mainly in newspapers and pulp magazines of the time, especially Weird Tales.
