Skull-Face Omnibus

By Robert E. Howard

This classic compendium displays Robert E. Howard's command & diversity of forms, including narrative, poetry, and essay. For those wanting to explore beyond Howard's most widely recognized creation, CONAN, this compact tomb is an ideal digest of the author's celebrated role in the realm of early American serial writers. Robert E. Howard was a true Texas eccentric living. Though he experimented with forms and genres, his most enduring achievement was capturing a disquieting but determined spirit within the paleolithic textures of his native environs. But these are not cowboys, though he tinkered with them too, but more primordial yet noble wayfarers such as Conan the Barbarian, De Montour, Bran Mok Mour, and Solomon Kane among others. These figures wandered various wastelands complete with courtly politics and mystical intrigues of western landscapes infused with mythic eastern mystery.
