Pigeons from Hell and Other Tales of Horror and Mystery (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

Robert E. Howard ranks amongst the greatest pulp writers of all time, and is regarded as the father of the sword-and-sorcery genre. His wider body of work is often overshadowed by his most famous creation, Conan the Barbarian, but Howard wrote a great amount of timeless horror and mystery tales that had nothing to do with Conan. Collected here, covering the whole of his career, are Howard's greatest lesser-known pulp tales. Includes 'Pigeons from Hell' ¿ described by Stephen King as "one of the finest horror stories of our century."
