Conan the Slayer #10
Coming in May!

Cullen Bunn (Writer), Sergio Dávila (Art), Michael Atiyeh (Color), and Sergio Dávila (Cover)

Where once was an abandoned ruin, the glittering city of Xapur suddenly rises again. Conan, drawn by deceit to the ancient necropolis, is now lost in this resurrected fortress . . . but he is not alone. For the demon Khosatral Khel, the Devil in Iron, walks the streets once more!

“I am not sure what it is, but Bunn-Dávila-Atiyeh have nailed it. Conan is in fine hands in this title, and I really am eager to see the next issue!”—Outright Geekery

AR-I-E’CH AND THE SPELL OF CTHULHU: 
AN INFORMAL GUIDE TO R.E. HOWARD'S LOVECRAFTIAN FICTION 
by Fred Blosser 
Now available!

AR-I-E’CH AND THE SPELL OF CTHULHU: AN INFORMAL GUIDE TO R.E. HOWARD’S LOVECRAFTIAN FICTION provides a new reference to Robert E. Howard's classic tales of the Cthulhu Mythos and related horror fantasies inspired by the chilling cosmic vision of H.P. Lovecraft. Included are an introductory overview of Howard, Lovecraft, and the Mythos; summaries and discussions of the stories; a short essay on the associations between the Cthulhu Mythos and Howard's most celebrated heroic-fantasy character; a catalog of Howard's signature additions to the Mythos (persons, places, sinister books, and gods); and a selected reading list. Fred Blosser is a veteran commentator on the fiction of Robert E. Howard, published in THE HOWARD COLLECTOR, THE DARK MAN, AMRA, and Marvel Comics magazines based on Howard's characters. He has also published in CINEMA RETRO, THE DARK SIDE, THE ARMCHAIR DETECTIVE, MYSTERY SCENE, and other magazines about the fantasy, horror, and detective genres.

Chicken Fried Cthulhu: A Skelos Press Anthology
New Kickstarter project featuring REH!

A dark and irreverent anthology of Lovecraftian fiction set in Texas and the Southwest.

It’s time to shine a light into the dark corners of the Southwest; places like Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexio, where the land is impossibly old, and civilization is new and precarious. The ground in these parts is soaked with blood, with oil, with sweat. There are no tears. They shoot you for wasting water around here.

Chicken Fried Cthulhu pays tribute to the authors who first carved out a place for themselves in the vast, open countryside, and paved the way for new authors to leave their indelible mark on Mythos fiction. But like the outlaws and outsiders who settled in the southwest, they prefer to do it their way: bloody, bawdy, and belligerent.  Lovecraftian fiction done the only way we know how to do it: chicken fried!

Chicken Fried Cthulhu is a collection of new and reprint stories set in and around the southwest by southwestern writers. Included in this sensational line-up: Zelia Bishop, Christopher Brown, Walter DeBill, Jr., Bradley Denton, Robert E. Howard, Joe Lansdale, Caroline Specter and Don Webb for starters. More authors will be announced during and after the Kickstarter is concluded. Thirteen authors (and more, with your help) with a unique, one-of-a-kind take on the Cthulhu Mythos that is unmistakably Weird. And we're going to debut the book at this year's World Fantasy Convention in San Antonio, Texas!

Howard Days 2017 Guest of Honor is Paul Herman

The unofficial "theme" for Howard Days 2017 is The Howard Detectives, so we are happy to announce that Paul Herman is this year's Guest of Honor.

There is little doubt that Paul is the King of the Howard Detectives today. His exhaustive and dedicated work with the Glenn Lord papers (Glenn, of course, was the Original Howard Detective) has brought Paul to the forefront of hard core Howard Fandom. Paul's bio below explains quite a lot as to why he's the 2017 Guest of Honor.
