People of the Dark

Set within the Cthulhu Mythos, this fantasy tale explores themes of myth and legend, reflecting the violent history that influenced Howard's upbringing in Texas. The author, Robert E. Howard, began his writing journey in his teens, ultimately creating the iconic character Conan the Cimmerian, a barbarian-turned-King from a mythical age. His contributions to the 'sword and sorcery' genre are significant, with Conan appearing in numerous stories published in Weird Tales. This edition includes a new introductory biography.
