In 1987, Charles Hoffman and Marc Cerasini published a volume on Robert E.
Howard for the acclaimed Starmont Reader's Guides series.
Even then, the book was a pioneering study of Howard's life and work.
In the decades that have followed, a great deal of additional research has been done on the life and times of the inventor of Conan, and the authors have now prepared a radically expanded and updated version of their monograph, taking account of these new discoveries.
