Introduction

"Red Shadows" was REH's first published Solomon Kane story (Howard's original title was "Solomon Kane"). It tells a tale of wide scope, one which takes place over many years and many countries. It's a tale of unrelenting dogged persistence as Kane spends years of his life seeking to avenge the death of a complete stranger.
