The Complete Chronicles of Conan by Les Edwards, Stephen Jones, Robert E. Howard
5.0
By far the best pulp story writer I've ever come across. Howard's rich imagination had rarely been equaled in the subsequent 100 years, much less a character as memorable as the invincible Cimmerian.
Upon the second reread, Howard is even better than I remember - especially if you read the stories in a chronological order, from the Frost Giant's Daughter to the Hour of the Dragon. Sometimes the stories descend to formula with plot armor, the payoff is always satisfying.
You will not find a finer combination of the fantastic and the incredible in Howard's Conan stories.
