Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) — an American writer of short stories, working in the fantasy genre. He created more than fifty works of heroic fantasy, grouped into several cycles: these are tales and stories about the king of Valuzian Kull, the barbarian Conan, the leader of the Picts, Bran Mak Morn, and others.
Presented here is a collection of exciting detective stories by Robert Howard. Each story has its own plot, completely unlike the others, but there is something common in these narratives too: a mysterious, soul-chilling crime and an unpredictable ending. The sudden appearance of a death’s head on the mantelpiece; an old legend about an Indian ghost whose servants are ravenous graveyard rats; the cult of the leopard; a hunt for teeth; the kidnapping of a professor—just a small part of what will grab you, tickle your nerves. Do you want that? Then listen!
