Howard poetry.

Matkallaan hän kohtaa mitä uskomattomimpia seikkailuja ja yliluonnollisia vaaroja. Yksin hän ei aina pärjää vaan tarvitsee ystäviä ja liittolaisia sekä joskus jopa taikuutta voittaakseen vastukset. Solomon Kanen tarinoissa yhdistyvät kauhun ja fantasian elementit herkullisella tavalla. Kane oli miekan ja magian ensimmäisiä edustajia ja Robert E. Howardin tunnetuimman hahmon Conanin edelläkävijä. Alkuperäiset tarinat ovat spekulatiivisen fiktion klassikoita, joiden pohjalta on tehty elokuva, sarjakuvia ja pelejä sekä useita muiden kirjailijoiden laatimia romaaneja. Solomon Kane: kootut kertomukset ja runot sisältää ensimmäistä kertaa suomenkielisinä kaikki Howardin kirjoittamat Solomon Kanesta kertovat tarinat ja runot. Mukaan on otettu myös kirjailijalta kesken jääneet tarinat. Kokoelman on suomentanut Howardin tyyliä kunnioittaen Markus Harju.
