GODS OF THE NORTH by Robert Ervin Howard
About Howard
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.
