The Robert E. Howard Foundation publishes several excellent collections of hard-to find Howard material. Their books are expertly assembled and beautifully designed, but are done in small print runs so availability is limited. Robert E. Howard's Almuric is a savage planet of crumbling stone ruins and debased, near-human inhabitants. Into this world comes Esau Cairn, Earthman, swordsman, murderer. Only he can overthrow the terrible devils that enslave Almuric, but to do so he must first defeat the inner demons that forced him to abandon Earth/5(K). Robert E. Howard specialized in violent, dark tales of heroism tinged with horror, and while Esau Cairn isn't as well known as some of his other fictional heroes (Conan, Solomon Kane, Kull, etc), this short novel of Cairn's epic adventures on the fantastic world of Almuric is some of Howard's finest work/5(81).
