Robert Ervin Howard (1906-1936) was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. He is well known for having created the character Conan the Cimmerian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. Voracious reading, along with a natural talent for prose writing and the encouragement of teachers, conspired to create in Howard an interest in becoming a professional writer. One by one he discovered the authors that would influence his later work: Jack London and Rudyard Kipling. It's clear from Howard's earliest writings and the recollections of his friends that he suffered from severe depression from an early age. Friends recall him defending the act of suicide as a valid alternative as early as eighteen years old, describing such an end not as a tragedy but as a release from hell on earth.

ROBERT E. HOWARD, father of the "Sword and Sorcery" genre, built an entire world of fantasy and adventure. He peopled it with legendary heroes - including Conan the Cimmerian and Kull, the king of Valusia. While these are Howard's most famous creations, there are many others. SWORDS OF THE NORTH collects some of Howard's finest tales of Sword and Sorcery, including "Kings of the Night," "The Dark Man," "The Valley of the Worm," and more. Also collected in this volume are the complete tales and fragments of two of Howard's lesser-known characters: James Allison, who remembers his past lives as mythical warriors; and Cormac Mac Art, the leader of a band of Vikings during the reign of King Arthur.
