Nobody can touch Robert E. Howard when he was at the top-of-his-game. The three stories in The Bloody Crown of Conan are not only some of his best, they are some of his best Conan stories and Conan was his greatest creation. Howard was the father of Sword & Sorcery and next only to J.R.R. Tolkien in being the largest influence of fantasy today. His stories have stark imagery that's nothing short of amazing. The action moves at break-neck speed, and despite that they were written as pure adventure "pulps", there's harsh reality that's lying just beneath the surface.

In The People of the Black Circle, a princess and her kingdom are the target of an elite group of evil sorcerers, the Black Circle. Only Conan, the chief of the outlaws ranging her land, can save her.

In The Hour of the Dragon, King Conan is struck down by a resurrected wizard from an ancient evil kingdom. Now Conan must take up a long, dangerous quest to retrieve a relic of great power; the undead wizard's weakness, and rebuild his armies in order to regain his throne and achieve his revenge.

A Witch Shall Be Born is the tale of a evil and beautiful witch, who enslaves her twin sister, the queen of the border-city Khauran and allows merciless Shemite mercenaries reign of the kingdom. However, when they nail the captain of the guard, Conan, to a cross in the desert, they make the mistake of not confirming his death.

Del Rey publishing has done an excellent job putting these; The Fully Illustrated Library of Robert E. Howard, books together. They are chockfull of commentaries, letters and notes that can be appreciated by die-hard Howard fans and newcomers alike. Gary Gianni's artwork for Bloody Crown compliments the story perfectly, as do the artists in the other books. The beautiful illustrations lend a classical feel that's well-worthy of the master that Robert E. Howard was.

The Bloody Crown of Conan Conan of Cimmeria Book 2 Robert E Howard Patrice Louinet Gary Gianni Rusty Burke 9780345461520 Books Reviews

This includes three of Howards longer Conan stories, including one that is full novel length, one rough draft of another story, Howards notes on the stories preceding their completion, two essays pertaining to Howard and his writings by people who helped put this book together and on top of all that its full of illustrations throughout the book. Very affordable and the quality of the stories are the top of the heap of the fantasy genre. I count Howard as being one of the my favorite writers. I can't recomend this and the other two Del Ray Conan releases any more. What a shame it was that these great works were out of print for so long. Great primal blood and guts stuff that often resembles horror as much as fantasy!
Robert E Howard spawned several genres during his short writing careers, and it would be difficult to argue that Conan isn't one of the most iconic characters ever created. A collection of all the Conan stories (striped across three volumes), and it's highly recommended reading for anyone into Conan, fantasy, or action. Robert E Howard's writing is as primal and savage as his characters.
Crom!!!! This book tells the tales of high adventure! These books are amazing and set the standard for fantasy writing. Robert E. Howard was a genius!

The stories are so vivid and memorable. He really transports you to a world that is old and full of magic and wonder.

Even though these are paperback the price is great. The books hold up and the illustrations are great. A definite must buy for new and old fans alike!
While we are being forced to see some of the most vapid superheroes on the silver screen again & again, heroes who have so many personal issues & crisis that their in-house psychotherapists appear much more super-heroic (for being able to keep each of them in one piece), here is one giant who could have galvanised the audience with the uber-cool violence ushered upon dastardly villains, all the while protecting his own people (and taking some time to give terrific examples of dry humour whenever opportunity presented itself), and sweeping the dangerously refined depravity away in bloody strokes of sword! Run for the book and don't stop until you finish it!
"The Bloody Crown of Conan" contains three novellas each of which is fabulous entertainment. One of the novellas (really a full novel), "The Hour of the Dragon" is in my opinion the greatest Conan novel of them all, and one of the greatest fantasy tails ever told.

In "The Hour of the Dragon" evildoers use black magic to revive a long-dead evil magician, who they hope to use to overthrow King Conan, who is the King of Aquilonia. Conan's struggle to regain his throne is the theme of this story, and a great story it is. Howard's writing is vibrant and unforgettable, and the reader is transported to the Hyborian world of Conan, the Kingdom of Stygia, and other fabulous places that existed only within the mind of Robert E. Howard and, of course, the reader.

This is truly wonderful entertainment, and Robert E. Howard deserves to rank among the greats of the "sword and sorcery" genre. "The Hour of the Dragon" is unforgettable.
