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. This Ultimate Edition adds the earliest known draft of “Black Vulmea’s Vengeance.”

Magazine of Horror #31, February 1970 (volume 6 number 1).
Cover by Virgil Finlay. Contains the short story THE NOSELESS HORROR. Submitted to Magazine of Horror by Glenn Lord. First publication ever. Here’s the introduction to the story:
ROBERT ERVIN HOWARD (1906-1936) has come in to his own in recent years, after many years’ obscurity following the death of WEIRD TALES, as L. Sprague de Camp, Lin Howard, and others
have championed him through editing collections of his tales and completing unfinished stories in the Conan, Solomon Kane, and King Kull cycles.— xsometimes adapting complete mss, REH left behind him, sometimes working out fragments, etc. The present story does not belong in any series, and is not a sword-and-sorcery tale, although necromancy certainly does play a part in it.

Contains the Solomon Kane story ‘The Footfalls Within”. It seems to take place after the previous tale, ‘Wings in the Night’
The story opens with Kane coming across the body of a young black woman. The corpse is fresh, and there are marks where whips and shackles have torn her flesh. It doesn’t take long for Kane to catch up with the slavers who killed her. He sees a train of blacks being led away by a group of armed Arabs and other blacks who have allied with them. They’re taking their captives to a slave market. They’re also driving them hard, neither giving them rest breaks nor providing them with ample water.
