Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) stands as one of the preeminent writers of pulp fiction during the early 20th century. Born and raised in Texas, Howard's body of work is vast and varied, imbued with the larger-than-life characters and epic storylines that typify the era's adventurous spirit. His most renowned creation, Conan the Barbarian, became an icon of the sword-and-sorcery genre, revealing Howard's keen interest in history and myth, marbled with a touch of the fantastic. The Fantasy Collection of Robert E. Howard encompasses some of his lesser-known yet equally compelling characters and stories, showcasing his literary craftsmanship and storytelling prowess. Howard's writing, characterized by vivid imagery, brisk pacing, and a darkly poetic style, has had a long-lasting influence on modern fantasy literature. Despite his premature death at the age of thirty through suicide, Howard left an indelible mark on the genre, laying the groundwork for successive generations of fantasy writers. His works have been reprinted numerous times, and his legacy endures in the adaptations of his stories in film, television, and comic books. Scholars often note the raw energy of Howard's prose and his ability to weave tales of heroism, adventure, and the brooding forces of evil and destiny, a testament to the enduring appeal of his narratives within the imaginaire of American literature.
