Solomon Kane on englantilainen puritaani ja miekkamies, joka maailmalla kulkiessaan taistelee kohtaamiaan vääryyksiä vastaan. 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.

A collection of Robert E. Howard's stories that appeared in pulp magazines like the revered Weird Tales. Robert E. Howard is considered the Godfather of Sword and Sorcery, and the creator of the international icon, Conan the Cimmerian.

"Shadows in the Moonlight" is one of the original short stories starring the fictional sword and sorcery hero Conan the Cimmerian, written by American author Robert E. Howard and first published in Weird Tales magazine in April 1934. Howard originally named his story "Iron Shadows in the Moon". It is set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age and concerns Conan escaping to a remote island in the Vilayet Sea where he encounters the Red Brotherhood, a skulking creature, and mysterious iron statues.

In Queen of the Black Coast, Conan joins with Belit, the magnificent pirate queen, whose fathers were the kings of Askalon There is a frightening conflict with a monster winged ape before the sorrowful passing of the Queen of the Black Coast. She who belonged to the sea; to its everlasting mystery he returned her. Queen of the Black Coast also contains a second Conan story-The Vale of Lost Women, in which the Cimmerian rescues the girl Livia from her barbarous captors.

"Agnès! Ditt rödhåriga djävulsyngel, var är du?" Det var min far som kallade på mig på sitt vanliga sätt. Jag strök bort några svettiga hårtestar ur ansiktet och baxade upp bunten med pinnar på axeln. Det fanns inte plats för vila i mitt liv. Far banade väg genom buskaget och kom in i gläntan. Han var lång, mager och bitter, brunbränd efter många fälttåg och märkt av ärr efter tjänstgöring hos giriga kungar och snikna hertigar. Han blängde bistert på mig och om sanningen ska fram så skulle jag knappast ha känt igen honom på något annat sätt. * * * Agnès de Chastillon växte upp under hårda förhållanden på landet i 1500-talets Frankrike. Pryglad av sin far och tvingad till äktenskap med en man som hon avskyr flyr hon dramatiskt från sin by. Hon hamnar i händerna på män som inte har helt oskyldiga avsikter med den unga kvinnan. En tänker att sälja henne till ett horhus medan en annan lär henne strida med svärd. På bara några veckor tvingas Agnès att bryskt växa upp och snart är hon ett beryktat namn i Frankrike. * * * Robert E Howard är känd för sina berättelser om Conan barbaren som kom att bli stilbildande inom fantasy-genren sword and sorcery. Men Howard skrev också deckare och historiska äventyr, där dessa om Agnès de Chastillon kom att publiceras först över fyrtio år efter hans död, och nu för första gången på svenska. * * * ”Berättelserna är våldsamma och språket är grovt. Berättelserna är också otroligt underhållande. De påminner en del om Conan Barbaren i stil men i annan miljö och med en kvinnlig hjälte. Lika underhållande är det. Fantaster av Robert E. Howard och Conan Barbaren samt våldsamma äventyrsböcker har mycket att hämta här.” Helhetsbetyg: 4 (av 5) Mycket bra /BTJ Häftet 18, 2021 * "Jag har inte läst allt av Robert E. Howard och kan därför inte med säkerhet säga ifall hans noveller om Agnés är det allra bästa han skrev – men det är fullt möjligt att så är fallet. Det är lite tråkigt att Howard inte skrev ännu fler berättelser om henne än de tre som nu föreligger i mästerlig svensk bearbetning av Mats Ingelborn. De berättelser som finns rekommenderar jag dock för alla som gillar äventyr och historiska berättelser.” /Mikael Härdig (Instagram) * ”Det här var en riktigt rafflande historia. Kul med en hjältinna som inte har så där värst mycket social kompetens. Hon hugger sig fram genom livet. Punkt slut. Det är lite Saga Norén över henne. Hon går sin egen väg.” /Linda

In The People of the Black Circle, the king has just died in the kingdom of Vendhya, struck down by the spells of the black prophets of Yimsha. The king’s sister, Yasmina, decides to avenge him…and contacts Conan, then chief of the Afghuli tribe. But several of Conan’s warriors have just been killed by the men of the kingdom of Vendhya, further complicating the matter. The princess thought she could use the Cimmerian, but rather it is she who will serve his interests... Sylvain Runberg and prodigious designer/illustrator Jae Kwang Park adapt one of the most ambitious and complex Conan stories of Robert E. Howard. An adventure where epic battles, witchcraft and plots mingle in a mystical and scary Orient. Where revenge is an art… In The Frost-Giant's Daughter, Conan, the only survivor of a ferocious battle, sits in the midst of a bloodstained snow field. When the fight is over, the Cimmerian suddenly finds himself overcome with deep weariness and disgust. Until the moment he meets a redheaded woman of supernatural beauty, blinding like the glow of the sun on the snow. Moved by a burning desire, Conan decides to follow her but finds himself caught in a trap, attacked by two titans. In his ardor, he was not suspicious…he did not imagine for a second that his bride was none other than Ymir's own daughter: the frost-giant! A mythical tale both in both form and substance, The Frost-Giant’s Daughter is masterfully adapted by Robin Recht, who manages to capture the essence of this whirlwind tale of violent desire…a true love trap in which the force of will of the Cimmerian is put to the test.
