“Old Garfield’s Heart” was first published in Weird Tales in December of 1933 and is generally labeled as a “Horror Story”. It takes place shortly after the end of the Wild West, but it falls squarely into the “Weird Western” genre. The story is about a frontiersman, Old Garfield, who has lived as long as anyone can remember. The story is told through the eyes of an unnamed narrator who believes the tales told by Old Garfield are nothing more than whims of fancy or tall tales.

The Raven is a fanzine created and published by Thomas Kovacs. The sort of prequel was Wolfshead.
Raven has a lot of Howard stuff and contains most of my Kovacs early translations and self made illustrations from 40 years ago. Thomas Kovacs was 21 at the time and at the beginning of his Howard “career”. He had intense correspondence with Glenn Lord which lasted decades until Glenn’s death. Raven has even the very first Hungarian translation of a Howard poem in it. The heading tho „The Thing on the Roof“ was translated by my older brother at that time.
