Again from the Robert E. Howard archives comes a wealth of never
before seen material: contextual notes, synopses, plot outlines,
initial drafts, original ideas, notes -- everything Conan's creator
ever wrote about the greatest barbarian adventurer of all time!
Of special note are the never-before-published versions of "People
of the Black Circle" and "A Witch Shall be Born."
The texts for these stories were taken from Howard's original
carbon and typescript, respectively, and feature an UNCENSORED
restoration of the story text before it was edited by the original
publisher. Over half of this book is taken from Robert E. Howard's
original drafts and typescripts -- a world debut! In addition,
this volume contains Howard's only novel of Conan the Cimmerian,
the stunning THE HOUR OF THE DRAGON.
The never before seen material in this book once again unveils
startling new insights about the Conan character and its development
by one of the most creative literary minds of the 1930's, Robert
E. Howard.
This is the second book in a three volume set, textually restored
and
meticulously researched by Howard scholar Patrice Louinet, with
original illustrations and stunning new full color oil paintings
from award-winning artist Gary Gianni.
