A Gent from the Pecos, featuring Pike Bearfield. Alternate title: ‘Shave that Hawg!’.
“The Beast From the Abyss” is a reflective and contemplative piece by Robert E. Howard, shared in a letter (#268) to H.P. Lovecraft, circa November 1933.

Authorship uncertain. First published in the Yellow Jacket volume XIII number 25, Howard Payne College.
