" The Conan novel is much better than the short stories. Although it does occasionally read like a series of vignettes loosely tied together, it is still better than reading five short stories in a row in which Conan's various positive attributes are redundantly praised using the same language over and over again. The illustrations in this edition are also far less intrusive than the first volume's. Good stuff, but you're gonna want to print out a map for a bookmark. "

" A great triad of Conan adventures, including the novel The Hour of the Dragon which brings Howard's virtuosity to new heights. "
-




Jeremy | 1/30/2014
" If you love any modern day fantasy, Tolkein, George R.R. Martin you owe it to yourself to read these 3 books! Robert E. Howard's stories are gripping and relentlessness. "

" I like the Conan books :) "

Uncle Carm | 1/17/2014
" Again, its amazing what howard does with Conan. "

Thom | 1/13/2014
" The colection of the few larger short stories of Robert E Howard's Conan. An exciting series. More of the same great barbarain and his slaughtering adventures. "

" More violence, and crazy stuff. "

Blake | 12/15/2013
" Very simplistic writing: Purple prose abounds. Also lots of racist/sexist tropes that date it sharply. Still, fun to read as a power-fantasy and interesting to see the character of Conan as he was originally envisioned by Howard. "

Victor | 11/22/2013
" This is an excellent book. A must read for any Howard fan. Wizards, people turning into snakes, vampires, knights- it's all here. "
-




Dev | 11/20/2013
" The master of Sword and Sorcery. Great stories that scare and delight; a hero, who's strength and cunning go unrivaled, and a good dollop of other-world building that make all Conan's novels great reads. "

Rob | 11/10/2013
" Just finished reading this - didn't like it as much as the other two compilations - fewer stories, most of which were longer (which is not where Howard is his best) but still pretty decent - I'd say the stories in here tend to be around average in terms of Howard's Conan material "

" just brutal the way he should be "
-




Jeffery | 10/4/2013
" "Hour of the Dragon" and "People of the Black Circle" are great, "A witch shall be born" is a little silly (by fantasy standards) but not a bad read. "
-




Dan | 4/5/2013
" Fun to read. It's quite interesting to read the notes at the end and see how Howard's drafts morphed into the final stories. "

Nicholas Gourlay | 11/13/2012
" Stories were dark and sexy and the artwork was beautiful. "

Daniel | 9/29/2012
" I have all three Wandering Star version of the Conan books. They are great! There is only one Robert E. Howard and no one can ever write like him again. "

Larry | 5/22/2012
" Reading The Bloody Crown of Conan was definitely a walk down memory lane. Robert E. Howard's brand of sword and sorcery is what I cut my science fiction eyeteeth on. This was a great find on the self at the used books stored. "

M.R. Gott | 9/9/2011

" I read this when I was in the 8th grade. I really liked it. Then the movie came out and I thought the movie was just awesome with the Govenator in it. Now, the movie looks pretty bad, and I have no idea what the book reads like now that I'm 40.
