Conan, the Cimmerian barbarian, romps across Robert E. Howard’s world of Hyboria, slicing down enemy after enemy and trying not to fall too hard for a succession of ladies in need of rescue. Although very much a product of the pulp fantasy magazines of the 1930s, Conan has surpassed his contemporaries to become the quintessential barbarian of the fantasy genre: the muscle-bound and instinct-led hero, always willing to fight his way out of any fix.
Collected here are Howard’s Conan short stories that are in the U.S. public domain, as well as a history of Hyboria that Howard wrote as a writing guide. Nearly all of Conan’s adventures were first published in Weird Tales magazine.
