Publisher Description

From Robert E. Howard's fertile imagination sprang some of fiction's greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howard's characters, none embodied his creator's brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn, the last king of a doomed race.

In ages past, the Picts ruled all of Europe. But the descendants of those proud conquerors have sunk into barbarism...all save one: Bran Mak Morn, whose bloodline remains unbroken. Threatened by the Celts and the Romans, the Pictish tribes rally under his banner to fight for their very survival, while Bran fights to restore the glory of his race.

This collection gathers together all of Howard's published stories featuring Bran Mak Morn: "Men of the Shadows," "Kings of the Night," "A Song of the Race," "Worms of the Earth," "The Dark Man," and "The Lost Race."

"Howard is unparalleled in creating a vivid mental picture with sparing text. Absolutely amazing imagery. It never ceases to awe me how I can be transported to a lush scene in a single paragraph. Howard brings disparate climes and times to life with ease. YOU ARE THERE! And it is breathtaking, fun, fast-paced and real. Wow. If you are a fantasy fan, and haven't read his works, then you are short-changing yourself. This is an excellent place to start. Starting here will alleviate any problems caused by crappy Hollywood renditions that clutter Conan's mental imagery. GO FOR IT!!"

    " Loved these stories so much that I named one of my sons after the protaganist! R.E.Howard did a far better job on the characters and storylines in these tales than he did on his Conan books. "

    " Liked this, as with everything by Howard, but it's not as good as some of the other ones. Entertainment. I seem to remember the artwork was really good. These Del Rey re-issues are very well done even though this repeats one of the stories from the Kull book. "

    " I think I really like Howard, but there are so many collections that I don't know where to start. There are very few actual stories in this collection and a lot of filler (notes, manuscripts, etc.) The stories themselves are pretty great. "
