The Dark Man: 
The Journal of Robert E. Howard and 
Pulp Fiction Studies (10.1) 
Now available!

by Jason Ray Carney (Author), Nicole Emmelhainz-Carney (Editor)

Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) was an American pulp fiction writer who published in a variety of pulp literary genres: fantasy, western, detective, science fiction, historical adventure. He is internationally known for his sword and sorcery character, Conan the Cimmerian, who has been adapted into a variety of popular medias, such as comic books, films, cartoons, video games, roleplaying games, and many more. Howard's ubiquity in popular culture notwithstanding, he was also, and emphatically so, an ambitious literary artist whose poetry and fiction merits investigation by literary critics, historians, and philosophers interested in interwar America and the cultural, intellectual, and aesthetic significance of pulp fiction. The Dark Man: Journal of Robert E. Howard and Pulp Studies is a peer-reviewed scholarly journal devoted to the academic study of Howard's literary works as well as the literary historical and print culture contexts associated with it. The journal seeks to publish full-length articles, brief critical notes and commentaries, bibliographies, reviews of books, and other scholarship that treats Howard's life, time, literary work, and associated topics such as Weird Tales, H.P. Lovecraft, and the concept of a transhistorical pulp aesthetic.

By Robert E. Howard
Now available!
Get yours before it sells out!

The REH Foundation Press is proud to present Post Oaks and Sand Roughs & Other Autobiographical Writings. Outside of the boxing stories, whenever Robert E.

This volume collects those “other” Costigan tales, including the title novel as well as the previously unpublished early draft. It also contains other items that reveal details about the people and places in Howard’s life, including the “Lost Plains” stories, items from The Junto, personal essays, and more, all restored to the original text, where available.

With the introductory material, this volume checks in at over 400 pages and will be printed in hardback with dust jacket, in a limited quantity of 200 copies, each individually numbered.

Cover art by Jim & Ruth Keegan; edited and with notes by Rob Roehm;
Introduction and notes by Rusty Burke.

Howard. MiniCrate is a service that delivers exclusive, limited-edition miniatures directly to players and hobbyists every month. Based on the popular fantasy works of author Robert E. Howard, the new SAVAGE MiniCrate subscription series features a range of miniatures based on the worlds and characters he created, including the famed Conan the Barbarian.

The first miniature in the series will be the iconic Dark Agnes de Chastillon based on Howard’s Sword Woman stories. Future miniatures in the new line will include characters from Conan, Kull of Atlantis, Solomon Kane, and more.

The SAVAGE MiniCrate: Heroes and Villains of Robert E. Howard will be offered as a monthly subscription service monthly ($16.99) or as a six-month VIP subscription ($98.99). Subscribers will have automatic rebilling to ensure there are no gaps in their subscriptions. Each shipment contains a single exclusive, limited-edition miniature and a corresponding Collector’s Card that can only be acquired through the Privateer Press’ SAVAGE MiniCrate program. International costs will vary.
