Weird Tales of Modernity:
The Ephemerality of the Ordinary in the Stories of 
Robert E. Howard, Clark Ashton Smith and H. P. Lovecraft
Coming July 22!

Serious literary artists such as T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, and Virginia Woolf loom large in most accounts of the literary art of the first half of the 20th century.
And yet, working in the shadows cast by these modernists were science fiction, horror, and fantasy writers like "the Weird Tales Three": H.P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, and Robert E. Howard.

These three writers did not publish in artistically ambitious little magazines like The Dial, The Smart Set and The Little Review, but instead in commercial pulp magazines like Weird Tales.
Contrary to stereotypes about pulp fiction and those who wrote it, the Weird Tales Three were serious literary artists who used their fiction to speculate about philosophical questions, the function of art, and the brevity of life.

Paperback: 250 pages
Publisher: McFarland
Product Dimensions: 6 x 9 inches

Conan le Cimmérien 
Chimères de fer dans la clarté lunaire
Now available!

Iron Shadows in the Moon

On an island, the danger does not always come from outside ...

A young woman in danger is pursued by her vile master. Conan, whose family has just been decimated by this same master, puts an end to the run of the beautiful woman and saves her with a blow of sword. Linked by fate, the couple decides to take the road together. Their journey takes them to an island where they discover strange ruins inhabited by dark magic. Their hideaway immediately turns into a dark and dangerous place where the shadows run. Who knows the extent of the dangers that lie there ...?

Now considered a minor work of Robert E. Howard, Iron Shadows in the Moon reveals the genius of its author to describe such singular and mysterious worlds. By her delicate and powerful feature, Virginie Augustin sublimates this oppressive and mystical atmosphere and offers a new graphic inspiration.
