The bear's new book

Post by The Yosemite Bear »

I just picked up the annotated and illistrated Savage Tales of Solomon Kane, book two in the annotated reprints of the complete works of Robert E. Howard.

(obviously book one was the complete tales of a certain Cimmerian before he became king,), book III will be Bran Mak Morn, Book IV King Conan, Book V will be Kull

I have a copy also, though I've only had time to read a few stories. Definately awesome.

For those who do not yet know the glory that is Kane, there's an excellent reveiw of the book here.

Actually, I'm pretty sure that Book III is The Bloody Crown of Conan, and then Bran will be book IV.
