"Howard's writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks." ~ Stephen King
"Behind Howard's stories lurks a dark poetry, and the timeless truth of dreams. That is why these tales have survived. They remain a fitting heritage of the poet and dreamer who was Robert E. Howard." ~ Robert Bloch
"For stark, living fear... what other writer is even in the running with Robert E. Howard?" ~ H. P. Lovecraft
"Howard was a true storyteller-one of the first, and certainly among the best, you'll find in heroic fantasy. If you've never read him before, you're in for a real treat." ~ Charles de Lint
"With the existential anti-hero of Conan, Howard was using the romantic fiction of the Distant Past to draw a portrait of Twentieth Century Man -- red of hand and dark of eye, pursued by demons both real and imagined, who worships a god who refuses to help those who pray to it, and is simply doing whatever it takes to get by, whether its stealing jewels, splitting a guard's skull, skewering a wizard, or usurping a kingdom. You can quest until the cows come home, with allegory out the ying-yang, and still never get any more profound than that." ~ Nancy A. Collins
"The best pulp fantasy writer was Robert E. Howard. He painted in about the broadest strokes imaginable. A mass of glimmering black for the menace, and ice blue cascade for the hero, between them a swath of crimson for battle, passion, blood--and that was the picture, or story, rather, except where a vivid detail might chance to spring to life, or a swift thought-arabesque be added." ~ Fritz Leiber
There will only ever be one Robert E. Howard. ~ Jeff Mariotte
