Robert E. Howard’s “Adventures in Science Fantasy” Available Now

I’m not exactly clear on how I missed it, but the Robert E. Howard Foundation has released Adventures in Science Fantasy, a 298-page collection that includes Almuric, The People of the Black Coast, and several other works all in a single book. I’m blaming too many long days of work for why I missed this; I need to find a way to separate into another person.

The REH Foundation Press is proud to present Adventures in Science Fantasy, a collection of Robert E. Howard’s sort of science fiction stories. Michael A. Stackpole, author of Conan the Barbarian (the novelization of the recent film) and many other books, writes in his introduction:
“Howard’s stories do not adhere to one definition of science fiction, which holds that science must be part of the solution of any problem. In fact, in most of these stories, the application of science is the genesis of the problem, and man’s heroic spirit is the solution.”
This volume checks in at 298 pages, and will be printed in hardback with dust jacket, in a limited quantity of 200 copies, each individually numbered. Cover art by Mark Schultz; introduction by Michael A. Stackpole; and edited by Rob Roehm.
