The Haunter of the Ring and Other Tales (Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural) ReviewWhenever we think about R.E. Howard, certain mythical images of gigantic, brooding men, with "smouldering" eyes, automatically emerge. But in the process we tend to forget that Howard, under pressure from market conditions, had tried to expand his market by trying his hand in several genres apart from the "sword & sorcery" stuff, as well. Since he was a regular (if not the foremost) contributor to Weird Tales, and also a protege of H.P. Lovecraft, it was inevitable that he would create several horror stories that would fit the requirement of that magazine ideally, while retaining his own vitality and tight narrative structure. This book, with the incredible pricing provided by Wordsworth, is bursting at the seam with such stories. Amongst them there are numerous gems which we overlook while thinking about the mythical men from Atlantis, Cimmeria, Pictish Britain, and medieval Europe & Asia. There are solid "southern" horror tales, best represented by: "Pigeons from Hell" (alone worth the price of the book). There are Cthulhu-mythos tales like "The Black Stone" and "The Thing on the Roof". There are blood-curdling vampire stories and stories of ancient horrors that wait for the over-eager opportunist to stumble across them. There are adventure stories like "Fire of Asshurbanipal" and novella like "Skull-Face". There are....
Overall, the book is highly recommended for all lovers of pulp fiction who like their horrors to be horrific enough, and yet described in a lucid and tight English (something that the creator of Cthulhu could not achieve in his life-time), that also at a very-very reasonable price.The Haunter of the Ring and Other Tales (Tales of Mystery & the Supernatural) Overview
