Book excerpt: Taramis, queen of Khauran, awakened from a dream-haunted slumber to a silence thatseemed more like the stillness of nighted catacombs than the normal quiet of a sleepingpalace. She lay staring into the darkness, wondering why the candles in their goldencandelabra had gone out. A flecking of stars marked a gold-barred casement that lentno illumination to the interior of the chamber. But as Taramis lay there, she becameaware of a spot of radiance glowing in the darkness before her. She watched, puzzled.It grew and its intensity deepened as it expanded, a widening disk of lurid light hoveringagainst the dark velvet hangings of the opposite wall. Taramis caught her breath, starting up to a sitting position. A dark object was visible in that circle of light-a humanhead.In a sudden panic the queen opened her lips to cry out for her maids; then she checkedherself. The glow was more lurid, the head more vividly limned. It was a woman's head, small, delicately molded, superbly poised, with a high-piled mass of lustrous black hair.The face grew distinct as she stared-and it was the sight of this face which froze thecry in Taramis's throat. The features were her own! She might have been looking into amirror which subtly altered her reflection, lending it a tigerish gleam of eye, a vindictivecurl of li

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 - June 11, 1936) was a classic American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror." He is well known for having created - in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales - the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Between Conan and his other heroes Howard created the genre now known as sword-and-sorcery in the late 1920s and early 1930s, spawning a wide swath of imitators and giving him an influence in the fantasy field rivaled only by J.R.R. Tolkien and Tolkien's similarly inspired creation of the modern genre of High Fantasy. There is no evidence that Tolkien was influenced by the earlier author, however.

He is well known for having created the character Conan the Cimmerian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Voracious reading, along with a natural talent for prose writing and the encouragement of teachers, conspired to create in Howard an interest in becoming a professional writer. One by one he discovered the authors that would influence his later work: Jack London and Rudyard Kipling. It's clear from Howard's earliest writings and the recollections of his friends that he suffered from severe depression from an early age. Friends recall him defending the act of suicide as a valid alternative as early as eighteen years old, while many of his stories and poems have a suicidal gloom and intensity that seem prescient in hindsight, describing such an end not as a tragedy but as a release from hell on earth.
