Description:In the front ranks of Robert E. Howard and pulp scholars for decades, Morgan Holmes now finds himself short-listed for Best Fan Writer for the 2016 Hugo Awards. To let the Hugo voters in on what the rest of us have long known, here is a collection of three of his best articles from The Cimmerian — the venue where Holmes proved especially brilliant in showcasing his particular skill set.“Enter the Barbarian” celebrates the seventy-fifth anniversary of the debut of Conan the Cimmerian in Weird Tales magazine. What else was in that issue with “The Phoenix on the Sword”? What led up to that moment? What followed in its wake? Holmes answers all these questions, and in addition cites one of his personal theories: that Robert E. Howard was not even close to unleashed as a writer until he began his epic correspondence with H. P. Lovecraft.“The First Posthumous Collaborator” delves into Howard’s fragmentary interplanetary novel Almuric, and the riddle of who provided an ending so that it could appear in Weird Tales. Holmes assembles the usual — and some quite unusual — suspects for his lineup.And in “The Statement of S. T. Joshi” Holmes questions the competence of the noted Lovecraft scholar when it comes to writing about Howardian themes, in this instance the historical background of Howard's famous cycle of stories and poems revolving around Bran Mak Morn.Also featured is an Afterword by fellow Howard scholar Richard Toogood — plus as an eBook eXtra a round of bonus materials: selections from the numerous letters Holmes contributed to The Cimmerian’s letter column The Lion’s Den, which in and of themselves are often mini-essays — or micro-books.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
