Weird Tales launched in March of 1923 and the world was never the same again. While Pulp magazines had been around for some time Weird Tales was the first pulp magazine to specialize in super natural fiction. Weird Tales single handedly created the field of genre fiction as we know it. No longer did readers of Fantasy, Science Fiction, and Horror have to seek out single stories in otherwise mundane magazines now they had a magazine all of their own that published only the stories that they wanted to read. Collected in this anthology are over two hundred thousand words and more than five hundred pages of some of the greatest stories ever published in the pages of Weird Tales.

About the Author
Robert Ervin Howard (1906¿1936) wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. He is well known for his character Conan the Barbarian and is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard spent time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing—which he also wrote stories about. His tales of heroic & supernatural fantasy won him a huge audience across the world and influenced a whole generation of writers, from Robert Jordan to Raymond E. Feist.
