This book is the definitive biography of Robert E. Howard, the legendary American writer and creator of iconic characters such as Conan the Barbarian. Through in-depth research, the authors explore not only Howard's brilliant literary career but also the complex psychological, familial, and social factors that shaped his life in early 20th-century Texas, leading to his tragic end. It offers an intimate look at the mind of a foundational author of the sword and sorcery genre, analyzing his personal relationships, his friendships with other great writers of the time like H.P. Lovecraft, and the sources of his inexhaustible inspiration.
