The Horror Stories of Robert E. Howard Audiobook

" I finally read this book after 2 years! It's a collection of short stories, so it was easy to just read it in between other things. Suffice it to say, Robert E. Howard is a master, one of my biggest influences, and this book was great. Some of the stories were obviously better than others, but it was a great collection. "

" From the creator of Conan comes strange and engaging tales. "

" Some dated and painful ethnic stereotypes, but the stories themselves are amazing. "

" The monumental size of this volume actually works against it; reading this man REH stories in succession, you become too familiar with the man's weaknesses and cliches. But beyond the reuse of story element and theme, beyond the brazen text that never toys with subtlety, Howard was a primally talented storyteller. Would he had let himself live another ten years; who knows what the mature man might have produced? "

" This is a great collection of stories. "Pigeons from Hell," "Worms of the Earth," "Black Canaan," and so many other weird and atmospheric tales of supernatural horrors. "

" Excellent collection by a master story-teller. "

" If you have never read anything of REH except Conan..this is the collection for you! Great Tales from the master of Fantasy! If you dont read anything else in this collection..READ "Pigeons from hell" even stephen king Reccomends and speaks in very high regard of that classic tale! "

" Not as great as I wanted it to be, but still good. Some of the stories seem to be a little too short, while others, like THE FIRE OF ASSHURBANIPAL are awesome. I have one of his Conan books on tap... if only I could find the Del Rey collections of Kull, Solomon Kane and Bran Mak Moran. "

" So much to love here, and yet so much dated prose stylings and cringeworthy racism. "

" A superb collection of pulp horror tales from the 1920s and 30s. Howard was a much better writer than many give him credit for. "

" The art is what really pushed it into the five star realm. Not to knock the stories. "

" Fun stories, some better written than others. It was interesting reading the first Conan story (he was an Irish Pirate?). I don't know how I had never heard of Robert E. Howard before this. "

" Thus far this is what I was hoping for. His horror writing to me is up there with Poe, creepy and surreal and violent at times. Wonderful work if you like to live on the dark side. "

" This was an excellent book! "

" Pretty awesome. Some of the first person "I found this ancient tome and yaddia yaddia" Lovecraft pastiches were a little heavy handed and got old after awhile, but I loved the other stuff - especially the weird western stuff, and Solomon Kane. Can't wait for my Solomon Kane collection to get here... "

" I love short stories and Horror and Mr.Howard Does an amazing job, I wish he wrote many more before his untimely demise. "
