Introduction

Robert E. Howard wrote many types of stories.

This publication collects Howard’s piratical yarns that aren’t part of his more famous characters’ collections; no Conan or Solomon Kane tales are herein, but the book does collect the two Black Vulmea stories and a handful of others, including Howard’s rewrite of “The Blue Flame of Vengeance” using a new character, Malachi Grim. The tales collected herein were not commercial successes for their author, though many of them display the poetic prose and narrative drive that are the earmarks of Howard’s fiction. It checks in at 257 pages, and is printed in hardback with dust jacket, in a limited quantity of 250 copies, each individually numbered. Cover art by Tom Gianni and introduction and edited by Rob Roehm.
