Here's a place to discuss certain stories by Robert E. Howard. The stories include:
Rattle of Bones
Red Shadows
Skulls in the Stars
The Moon of Skulls
The Hills of the Dead
Wings in the Night
The Footfalls Within
The Hills of the Dead
There is also a poem, "Solomon Kane's Homecoming," and one or two other poems. Perhaps someone can let us know if I have missed anything.
The first seven stories listed, at least, should be available online for free.
Along with discussion of these works, it would be appropriate to discuss Robert E. Howard's concept of the character, how these stories relate to or contrast with other works by Howard, etc. I hope that comment on comic books, movies, games, etc. can be strictly excluded from this thread. If you don't find the stories and the poem interesting, this thread isn't for you. After all, there are already two Chrons threads about a movie from ten years or so ago.
Solomon Kane - Wikipedia
The Wikipedia article lists stories "edited" or "completed" by other authors, and fragments. It's up to visitors to this thread to discuss them or not. I would prefer to stick strictly to Howard's work.
