The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard, Volume 2
Coming June 14!

The Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard reveals a side of Howard’s personality that readers of his fiction might not suspect existed. Full of humor, philosophical musings, travelogue, historical sketches, and opinions on contemporary politics and events – local, national, and international – Howard’s letters provide important insight into the life and times of one of the most influential pulp-era writers of the twentieth century.

This second volume of a three-volume set collects all of Howard’s known correspondence, from the early letters to his Texas friends, most notably Tevis Clyde Smith, and continuing through correspondence with fellow writers Clark Ashton Smith, E. Hoffmann Price, and others. Also included are Howard’s letters to H.P. Lovecraft, which constitute one of the most intriguing correspondence cycles in the history of Fantasy fiction.

New cover art by Mark Wheatley.

There will also be a *limited amount* of this and the new Steve Harrison Casebook available at Howard Days.

And now what was an adventure may turn into a suicide mission!
