Dal genio di Robert E. Howard, la prima, originale avventura di Conan il Barbaro. Gotico, epico, selvaggio.

Aventurier errant et vagabond sur la Terre, Solomon Kane traque et tue impitoyablement ses ennemis dans un monde élisabéthain pris de folie: brigands et pirates, certes, mais aussi vampires et morts-vivants. Instrument de Dieu ou puritain fou habité par des forces qui le dépassent, qui est Solomon Kane? L'une des créations les plus originales de Robert E. Howard. Cette édition en deux exemplaires numériques, élaborée par Patrice Louinet, l'un des plus éminents spécialistes internationaux de Robert E. Howard et de son œuvre, contient l'intégralité́ des aventures.

Poussant un juron de panique, Conan fit jaillir son épée. "Crom ! Elle est vivante !" À ses mots, les longs cils noirs se soulevèrent et les yeux foncés s'ouvrirent pour le regarder... impénétrables, brillants, mystiques. Il resta ainsi à l'observer, muet de stupéfaction. L'oracle se redressa alors d'un geste souple sans quitter des yeux l'homme qui la regardait, comme ensorcelé. Conan est l'un des personnages de fiction les plus connus au monde. Robert E. Howard l'a créé en 1932 et avec lui, l'heroic fantasy.

"Les aventures de Conan" sont une épopée haute en couleur, regorgeant d'exploits en tout genre, de personnages plus grands que nature, de décors fabuleux. Mais elles furent réarrangées après la mort d'Howard selon une chronologie arbitraire, réécrites ou modifiées par d'autres auteurs. Il était temps de rendre son œuvre à son créateur en publiant l'intégrale des nouvelles de "Conan" dans leurs versions authentiques écrites par Robert E. Howard.

A comedic western, "Mountain Man" is about the tall tales and big adventures of Brekenridge Elkins, an exaggerated, cartoonish version of Howard himself. The story first appeared in the March - April 1934 issue of Action Stories and was so popular that other magazines asked Howard for similar characters, giving birth to an entire series full of colorful characters.

Kull, king of Valusia, was overcome with unrest and was unsure of what he needed to do. A girl of the castle told him to seek Tuzun Thune, a wizard who knew all the secrets of life and death. When Kull visits the wizard, he learns that the wizard uses mirrors to allow Kull to look into the past and the future. But it is the mirror that shows only his own reflection that sends Kull into a distracting world of contemplation.

When Dennis Dorgan is unexpectedly declared the loser in a boxing match against Kid Leary that he quite obviously won, he realizes something has gone amiss. The situation grows worse when his manager comes in and reveals that he has lost all his money and his ship because of the loss.

Robert E. Howard’s "Pigeons from Hell" is a chilling Southern Gothic horror tale blending supernatural terror with a grim, oppressive atmosphere. It follows two travellers, John Branner and Griswell, who become stranded in the deep South and take refuge in an abandoned plantation house, the decaying remnants of the Blassenville family estate. The house is eerily silent, save for the presence of strange pigeons roosting in the rafters.

Stell dir vor, du bist ein mächtiger Krieger, gestrandet an einer feindseligen Küste, zwischen Piraten, Intrigen und einer Bedrohung, die nicht von dieser Welt ist. Der schwarze Fremde ist eine von Robert E. Howards spannendsten Conan-Geschichten – voller Kämpfe, Verrat und düsterer Magie. Was mich an dieser Erzählung besonders fesselt, ist das hohe Tempo: Kaum beginnt die Geschichte, wird Conan in einen Strudel aus Blut, Stahl und schwarzer Zauberei gerissen.

Red Nails is Conan the Barbarian at his finest—battling a monstrous dragon, navigating an ancient, warring city, and facing dark sorcery alongside the fierce pirate Valeria. As betrayals mount and blood is spilled, Conan must fight his way to survival in Howard’s final, action-packed Conan story.

Mach es dir gemütlich, denn heute nehme ich dich mit in die eisige Wildnis des hohen Nordens – dorthin, wo Conan der Barbar nicht nur gegen Schneestürme und wilde Krieger kämpft, sondern auch auf eine geheimnisvolle, fast übernatürliche Bedrohung trifft. Die Götter des Nordens ist eine von Robert E. Howards atmosphärischsten Conan-Geschichten: voller uralter Magie, erbitterter Kämpfe und der unbändigen Wildheit eines Mannes, der sich seinem Schicksal entgegenstellt. Was mich an dieser Geschichte fasziniert, ist die fast traumartige, düstere Atmosphäre.
