"The voice of Robert E. Howard still resonates after decades with readers equal parts ringing steel, thunderous horse hooves, and spattered blood."- Eric Nylund, author of "Halo: The Fall of Reach."
(1906-1936) Robert Erwin Howard was born and rasied in rural Texas, where he lived all his life. The son of a pioneer physician, he began writing professionally at the age of fifteen. Howard killed himself in June 1936 when he learned that his beloved mother had fallen into a coma.
