Written by Robert E. Howard
About the Book
"Howard's work has a gritty vitality that is magnificently raw."
- David Gemmell
"They [the Solomon Kane stories] illustrate clearly the author's bold imagination, his capacity for research, his skill at portraying fast action, unusual settings, strange and supernatural incidents, and bizzare characters ... It is like discovering a combination of Rafael Sabatini, Edgar Rice Burroughs, H. Rider Haggard, and H.P. Lovecraft, all rolled up into a single author named Robert E. Howard."
- Albert E. Gechter

"If there is still someone out there who hasn't read these wonderful stories, I envy you, you're in for a treat, for the rest of you, revisiting Robert E. Howard's grim hero will be good for your soul."
- Gary Gianni
"In his best work, Howard's writing seems so highly charged with energy that it
nearly gives off sparks. Stories such as "The People of the Black Circle" glow
with the fierce and eldritch light of his frenzied intensity. At his best, Howard was
the Thomas Wolfe of fantasy..."
- Stephen King
