Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was an American author of pulp fiction, who is best remembered for his contribution to the sword-and-sorcery genre, particularly for creating the character Conan the Barbarian. Raised in the small town of Cross Plains, Texas, Howard found an outlet in the burgeoning pulp magazines of the 1920s and 1930s. A prolific writer, he contributed to various genres including fantasy, horror, and historical adventure. 'The Sowers of the Thunder', a collection of four of his oriental stories, showcases Howard's ability to blend vivid historical settings with a powerful narrative drive. His tales are marked by a distinctive style characterized by dynamic action sequences, an atmosphere of impending doom, and a sense of the tragic futility often found in his works. Howard's heroes, like many of his contemporaries, are typically solitary figures pitted against overwhelming odds. While his life was tragically short, with his death by suicide at the age of thirty, Howard's influence on the literary landscape was substantial, affecting later writers such as Robert Jordan and George R.R. Martin. Despite his brief career, Howard produced a considerable body of work that continues to be read and admired for its energy, imagination, and emotional power.
