Book Description
This early work by Robert E. Howard was originally published in 1929 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Skulls in the Stars' is a story that follows the adventures of the puritan explorer Solomon Kane. Robert Ervin Howard was born in Peaster, Texas in 1906. During his youth, his family moved between a variety of Texan boomtowns, and Howard - a bookish and somewhat introverted child - was steeped in the violent myths and legends of the Old South. At fifteen Howard began to read the pulp magazines of the day, and to write more seriously. The December 1922 issue of his high school newspaper featured two of his stories, 'Golden Hope Christmas' and 'West is West'. In 1924 he sold his first piece - a short caveman tale titled 'Spear and Fang' - for $16 to the not-yet-famous Weird Tales magazine. Howard's most famous character, Conan the Cimmerian, was a barbarian-turned-King during the Hyborian Age, a mythical period of some 12,000 years ago. Conan featured in seventeen Weird Tales stories between 1933 and 1936 which is why Howard is now regarded as having spawned the 'sword and sorcery' genre. The Conan stories have since been adapted many times, most famously in the series of films starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Book Description
7 Solomon Kane Stories (Illustrated) Red Shadows Skulls in the Stars Rattle of Bones The Moon of Skulls The Hills of the Dead The Footfalls Within Wings in the Night Solomon Kane the Puritan wanders the world fighting evil where he finds. A classic from the creator of Conan. Solomon Kane is a fictional character created by the pulp-era writer Robert E. Howard. A late 16th/early 17th century Puritan, Solomon Kane is a somber-looking man who wanders the world with no apparent goal other than to vanquish evil in all its forms. His adventures, published mostly in the pulp magazine Weird Tales, often take him from Europe to the jungles of Africa and back. Howard described him as a sombre and gloomy man of pale face and cold eyes, all of it shadowed by a slouch hat. He is dressed entirely in black and his weaponry usually consists of a rapier, a dirk, and a brace of flintlock pistols. During one of his latter adventures his friend N'Longa, an African shaman, gave him a juju staff that served as a protection against evil, but could easily be wielded as an effective weapon. It is revealed in another story, "The Footfalls Within", that this is the mythical Staff of Solomon, a talisman older than the Earth and unimaginably powerful, much more so than even N'Longa knew. In the same adventure with N'Longa, Kane is seen using a musket as well.

Book Description
Da questo romanzo il film di Michael J. Bassett con James Purefoy e Max Von Sydow.Dall'autore di Conan il barbaro, Solomon Kane, guerriero, eroe, leggendaSolomon Kane è uno dei personaggi più straordinari creati da Robert Ervin Howard, l’autore del ciclo di Conan il barbaro. Spadaccino inglese, sorretto da una fede incrollabile e da un coraggio eccezionale, Kane si cimenta in avventure fantastiche contro le Forze del Male, tra civiltà perdute, creature diaboliche e mostri di ogni genere. Ambientate alla fine del XVI secolo, le sedici opere qui raccolte (racconti, alcuni dei quali pubblicati postumi, poesie, frammenti, da Teschi sulle stelle a Solomon Kane ritorna a casa) collocano le sfide di un eroe cupo e glaciale sullo sfondo di un’epoca di violenza, miseria, sfruttamento e lotte religiose. Da questo ciclo è stato tratto il film diretto da Michael J. Bassett e interpretato da James Purefoy, Max Von Sydow, Rachel Hurd-Wood e Pete Postlethwaite.Robert E. Howard nacque nel 1906 in Texas e concluse la sua brevissima vita a Cross Plains, nel 1936. Dotato di una vena inesauribile, scrisse non solo racconti fantasy e fantastici, ma anche commedie, gialli, racconti storici e d’avventura. Accanto al ciclo di Solomon Kane, della sua vasta produzione va ricordato almeno quello di Conan il barbaro, del quale sono celebri le trasposizioni cinematografiche.

Book Description
With Conan the Cimmerian, Robert E. Howard created more than the greatest action hero of the twentieth century—he also launched a genre that came to be known as sword and sorcery. But Conan wasn’t the first archetypal adventurer to spring from Howard’s fertile imagination. “He was . . . a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan. . . . A hunger in his soul drove him on and on, an urge to right all wrongs, protect all weaker things. . . . Wayward and restless as the wind, he was consistent in only one respect—he was true to his ideals of justice and right. Such was Solomon Kane.” Collected in this volume, lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, are all of the stories and poems that make up the thrilling saga of the dour and deadly Puritan, Solomon Kane. Together they constitute a sprawling epic of weird fantasy adventure that stretches from sixteenth-century England to remote African jungles where no white man has set foot. Here are shudder-inducing tales of vengeful ghosts and bloodthirsty demons, of dark sorceries wielded by evil men and women, all opposed by a grim avenger armed with a fanatic’s faith and a warrior’s savage heart. This edition also features exclusive story fragments, a biography of Howard by scholar Rusty Burke, and “In Memoriam,” H. P. Lovecraft’s moving tribute to his friend and fellow literary genius.
