". . . and their memory was a bitter tree . . ." by Robert E. Howard. Black Bart Books, 2008. First Trade Edition. Dust Jacket Art by Brom
From the blurbs on the dust jacket:
Thief, pirate, mercenary, bandit, general, and king: few characters in fantasy literature are as popular or enduring as Robert E. Howard's Conan. Now the very best of these classic tales are gathered in this deluxe commemorative edition. Featuring an introduction by Spectrum's Arnie Fenner, a memorial by the legendary H. P. Lovecraft, and stunning full-color illustrations by Brom and Frank Frazetta, this book is a virtual treasure-trove for long-time fans and new readers alike.
"Howard was the Thomas Wolfe of Fantasy and most of his Conan tales seem to almost fall over themselves in their need to get out." -- Stephen King.
"Forget Schwarzenegger and the movies. This is pure pulp fiction from the 1930s, before political correctness and focus groups dictated the direction of our art. Swords spin, entrails spill, and women swoon." -- Men's Health Magazine
Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) wrote over three-hundred stories of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction, all packed with raw power and unbridled emotion.
Howard ranks among the greatest writers of action and adventure. He is best known for having created the character Conan the Cimmerian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can only be compared to such characters as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.
This book collects nine of Howard's most electrifying Conan adventures. Featuring warring armies, devilish creatures, beautiful women, and haunted jungles -- all wonderfully illustrated in color by fantasy art masters Brom and Frank Frazetta -- this is Conan at his bravest and Robert E. Howard at his best.
