About the author

Robert Ervin Howard was an American pulp writer of fantasy, horror, historical adventure, boxing, western, and detective fiction. Howard wrote "over three-hundred stories and seven-hundred poems of raw power and unbridled emotion" and is especially noted for his memorable depictions of "a sombre universe of swashbuckling adventure and darkling horror."

He is well known for having created—in the pages of the legendary Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales—the character Conan the Cimmerian, a.k.a. Conan the Barbarian, a literary icon whose pop-culture imprint can only be compared to such icons as Tarzan of the Apes, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond.

[Tim Pendry · Rating 5 out of 5]

A truly superb Weird Western from Howard, published in Argosy in 1936 and showing the author at the height of his powers. An almost perfect story of vengeance, it is also a fine characterisation of the cowboy mentality and of the rough and ready society of the 1870s West.

Povídka popisuje smrt Jima Gordona, který urazil a potom zabil černošského starce a jeho mulatskou ženu. Ta ho ale před smrtí stačila proklít.

estuvo muy bueno y breve, capaz no había mucha emoción en los diálogos y me pareció un poco bobo que el forense supiera que era un pedazo del vestido de una mujer así pq si jij000

Quick little weird west tale that well it doesn't contain any surprises, feels like it should be read to a group of friends around a campfire.
