When science and terror collide-unravel the mysteries of Weird Menace!
Step into a world of danger, deception, and shocking mysteries with Tales of Weird Menace: The Ultimate Edition, a collection of Robert E. Howard's most pulse-pounding thrillers. Unlike supernatural horror, Weird Menace stories present eerie, seemingly unexplainable events that ultimately have rational-though often terrifying-explanations rooted in super-science, crime, or deception.
This definitive volume, restored from original typescripts and rare publications, showcases Howard's mastery of the genre, blending eerie suspense with relentless action. Featuring classics like Skull-Face, The Noseless Horror, and Black Hound of Death, alongside rare fragments, unfinished tales, and newly discovered synopses, this book is a must-have for pulp fiction and adventure fans.
With over 500 pages of relentless thrills and expertly crafted tension, Tales of Weird Menace is a treasure trove for anyone who loves classic pulp fiction, detective noir, and the eerie atmosphere of vintage horror-adventure storytelling.
Robert E Howard
Robert E. Howard (1906-1936) was born and raised in rural Texas, the son of a pioneer physician. He began writing professionally at the age of fifteen and turned out dozens of tales of heroic and supernatural fantasy, featuring many memorable creations - including the character he is best remembered for: Conan of Cimmeria. These stories, mostly published in Weird Tales, won him a huge audience across the world and influenced a whole generation of writers, from Robert Jordan to Raymond E. Feist. Sadly, Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.
