Ar-I-E'ch and the Spell of Cthulhu: 
An Informal Guide to Robert E. Howard's Lovecraftian Fiction
by Fred Blosser 
Now available!

What Lurks in Realms Beyond
Robert E. Howard's correspondence with H.P. Lovecraft inspired the two-fisted creator of Conan the Barbarian to pit his square-jawed modern heroes against cosmic horrors, colossal beasts, and cannibalistic children of the night, in a short-lived effort to open new markets for his fiction.

In this book, the first in the "Informal Guide to Robert E. Howard" series, Howard scholar Fred Blosser analyzes each of REH's Cthulhu Mythos stories, unpacking their plots, their themes, and their unexpected linkages to Howard's other works.

Along with his stories set in the Cthulhu Mythos, REH also wrote tales inspired by Lovecraftian themes, but not part of the Mythos itself. Blosser looks at each of these stories as well.

Though Howard couldn't match Lovecraft's dreamy, sinuous prose, nor did he much care for the timid Lovecraftian "hero", his small canon of Cthulhu fiction expanded the Mythos and gave us men (and sometimes women) not afraid to challenge the cosmic terrors that threatened their sanity and their souls.

With Blosser as your guide, you'll shake loose from Conan and experience an important but often overlooked facet of Robert E. Howard's storytelling genius.

The book includes a selected reading list, a study of elder horrors in the Kull stories, and an examination of a trio of tales that REH set in a most unlikely locale (for him): the haunted seaport.

Paperback: 124 pages

Western Weirdness and Voodoo Vengeance: 
An Informal Guide to Robert E. Howard's American Horrors
By Fred Blosser
Now available!

What Stalks the American West...
Before he invented the Hyborian Age and Conan the Barbarian, Robert E. Howard populated the arid plains of his native Texas and the fetid swamps of nearly Lousiana with cultists, demons, dark gods, and unspeakable things from the dawn of time and from fever-haunted realms of lunacy.

In this book, the second in the "Informal Guide to Robert E. Howard" series, Howard scholar Fred Blosser analyzes each of REH's regional stories, unpacking their plots, their themes, and their unexpected linkages to Howard's other works.

Despite its quality, Howard's regional fiction is relatively unknown today. Instead of lusty barbarians, the heroes in these tales are two-fisted rural everymen caught up in infernal schemes beyond their ken. With six-shooter in place of sword, they meet toe-to-toe the depraved horrors and gibbering monstrosities that gather in remote cabins, dismal plantations, and small, secret-ridden towns.

With Blosser as your guide, you'll shake loose from Conan and experience an important but often overlooked facet of Robert E. Howard's storytelling genius.

The book includes a selected reading list and a lengthy discussion of Roy Thomas' adaptation of REH's better regional fiction into sword-and-sorcery tales for Marvel's Conan the Barbarian comic book.

Paperback: 158 pages
