Introduction

Rattle of Bones & Other Terrifying Stories is a collection of horror stories by Howard with art by Gabriel Rodríguez. This was a Kickstarter project that was funded on April 11, 2020. The campaign was a success and depending on the pledge the book came with or without a slipcase. There is a thank you page at the end with the name of every backer. Options for buying postcard combo packs, leather bookmarks and more could also be bought.

Collecting 8 horror stories from Conan's creator, Robert E. Howard, with all-new illustrations by Locke & Key co-creator, Gabriel Rodriguez.

This collection includes the prose short stories: In the Forest of Villefere, Wolfshead, Sea Curse, A Tale of Faring Town, Rattle of Bones, The Touch of Death, Dig Me No Grave, People of the Dark, and The House of Arabu.

Each story originally appeared in the shudder pulps of the 1920s and 30s and is accompanied by all-new full-color illustration by Rodriguez. Master of horror, Steve Niles, provides an afterword that looks at Howard's prolific and short life.

It's published by Clover Press.
