Conan The Barbarian Short Stories 
Coming From Titan Books

New Conan the Barbarian stories are on the way from Titan Books in partnership with Heroic Signatures, beginning with Conan: Lord of the Mount. 2022 marked the 40th anniversary of the Conan the Barbarian film, and 2023 has seen a resurgence in appreciation for the character in the form of releases like John Walsh’s making of Conan the Barbarian book and this new string of short stories. Releasing monthly, this short story series will not only focus on Conan, but also on other characters created by Robert E. Howard.

The first book in the Titan Books/Heroic Signatures series is Conan: Lord of the Mount by Stephen Graham Jones, an award-winning author known in part for his horror novel The Only Good Indians. 

The Titan Books and Heroic Signatures short story series is an exciting re-visitation of the world of Conan, and can help those still hoping for Conan the Barbarian 3 news to hold out a little longer. The series will also feature other Robert E. Howard characters including Solomon Kane, Belit, and El Borak, and boasts stores from authors like Michael Stackpole, Brian D. Anderson, and V. Castro.
