Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936) was an iconic American author who revolutionized the genre of pulp fiction, predominantly during the interwar period. Regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre, his creations have endured in popular culture, giving rise to numerous adaptations and continued literary exploration. Howard is best known for his creation of Conan the Barbarian, a character whose tales are still synonymous with the genre itself, and have been immortalized in 'The Greatest Works of Robert E. Howard: 300+ Titles in One Edition.' Born and raised in Texas, Howard's writing was infused with the sensibilities of the Southwestern landscape and history. His body of work includes a wealth of short stories and poems that delve into fantasy, horror, historical adventure, and western genres, showcasing his versatile storytelling prowess. Howard's literary style was characterized by fast-paced narratives, visceral action, and a potent sense of atmosphere. Though his life was tragically short, with his untimely death by suicide at the age of thirty, Howard left a lasting legacy through his vivid imagination and prolific output. Howard's influence on modern fantasy cannot be overstated; his work laid the groundwork for future generations of fantasy writers and continues to be celebrated for its raw power and mythic grandeur.
