by Cavan Scott

Capturing the electric short fiction energy that led Robert E. Howard to be one of the top fantasy writers of the century, with exclusive serialized eBook stories starring Conan, Solomon Kane, and more by many of today's top writers in fantasy and sword-and-sorcery.

Journeying back to his native Devon, Kane finds his homeland is not as he left it. A foulness has spread across England, changing it forever. The devils that inhabited far-off lands have infiltrated this blessed plot.

When a child goes missing, Kane and Henry Worle, a local woodcutter, are hot on her trail. Though Henry proves useful and knowledgeable about the dark magic that plagues the forest, Kane doesn't quite trust him. How does Henry possess such knowledge? And what is he hiding?

Excellent Kane short. Kane returns to England only to find the local inhabitants plagued by terror from the forest. Finally, the Stave is here. Maybe someone heard my pleas for the Stave!!! It sure comes in use as Kane and a local woodsman battle creatures from frightening bedside legend. Recommend!!

Solomon Kane returns to his home in Devonshire, England and along with a mysterious woodcutter winds up searching for a missing child. Fair folk, cursed woods, and dark nursery rhymes. Fast paced, engaging prose, and an ending that stuck the landing. A fantastic story.

As far as a non Howard story goes this is really good. Fast, fun, exciting, and didn't ruin the character. Hope I see more of this quality and more of this author.
