Description
Conan the Cimmerian: the boy-thief who became a mercenary, who fought and loved his way across fabled lands to become King of Aquilonia. Neither supernatural fiends nore demonic sorcery could oppose the barbarian warrior as he wielded his mighty sword and dispatched his enemies to a bloody doom on the battlefields of the legendary Hyborian age.
Collected together in one volume for the very first time, in chronological order, are Robert E. Howard's tales of the legendary hero, as fresh and atmospheric today as when they were first published in the pulp magazines of more than seventy years ago.
Compiled by and with a foreward and afterword by award-winning writer and editor Stephen Jones.

Reviews / Votes
The energy of the writing practically thrums off the page and often the sense of tension and unease invoked is genuinely unsettling. Read it, then use the weighty tome to smite your enemies, drive them before you and hear the lamentation of their women! - Brian WilliamsonHoward was the Thomas Wolfe of fantasy, and most of his Conan tales seem to almost fall over themselves in their need to get out - Stephen King
A hero of mythic proportion, fashioned by a storyteller who helped define what a modern fantasy should be. 'Rogues in the House' is one of the finest tales of sword and sorcery ever written - Raymond E. Feist
Howard possessed a vitality his followers never captured - Michael Moorcock
