Robert E. Howard

When science and terror collide-unravel the mysteries of Weird Menace!

Step into a world of danger, deception, and shocking mysteries with Tales of Weird Menace: The Ultimate Edition, a collection of Robert E. Howard's most pulse-pounding thrillers.

Featuring classics like Skull-Face, The Noseless Horror, and Black Hound of Death, alongside rare fragments, unfinished tales, and newly discovered synopses, this book is a must-have for pulp fiction and adventure fans.

With over 500 pages of relentless thrills and expertly crafted tension, Tales of Weird Menace is a treasure trove for anyone who loves classic pulp fiction, detective noir, and the eerie atmosphere of vintage horror-adventure storytelling.
