Almuric (Planet Stories) by Robert E.
Howard
The Action Never Lets Up!
The creator of Conan looks to the stars in one of fantasys most enduring
science fantasy classics! Robert E. Howards Almuric is a savage planet of
crumbling stone ruins and debased, near-human inhabitants. Into this
world comes Esau Cairn, Earthman, swordsman, murderer. Only he can
overthrow the terrible devils that enslave Almuric, but to do so he must first
defeat the inner demons that forced him to abandon Earth. Filled with vile
beasts and thrilling adventure in the tradition of Edgar Rice Burroughs,
Almuric is one of Howards few novels, and an excellent yarn from one of
Americas most distinct literary voices.
Personal Review: Almuric (Planet Stories) by Robert E. Howard
My sediments are same as Joe R. Lansdale-award-winning author of
"Conan and the Songs of the Dead"; "A few pages in and I was as hooked
as bass on a handmade fly, right through the gills."

The person that said this story was derivative, meaning not original, is pure
conjecture and inference. As far as being average I don't agree. It was
outstanding! I took one break to read the 155 pages of Almuric. Joe
Lansdale's introduction is fascinating with some surprises. "When Howard
was writing Almuric, or the bulk of his tales, I don't doubt that he entered
into a kind of trance that put him right where he was writing about. Made
those worlds so real to him that they became real to us." I believe this, too.
REH was a genius and his writings are etched forever endless in time
accumulating vast new readers and fans each and every day.
Highly recommend The Last of the Trunk by Paul Herman of REH
Foundation that published the remaining writings of REH. The Last of the
trunk transcripts were furnished by Glenn Lord. A few of these untitled
stories and manuscripts tell about a man going back in time and one going
ahead in time to the year 2000. It's an awesome book and a must have to
learn more about REH.
Recommend the following: Blood & Thunder, The Life & Art of REH by
Mark Finn, One Who Walked Alone by Novalyne Price who was REH's
girlfriend, The Barbaric Triumph and The Dark Barbarian by Don Herron,
Two-Gun Bob, Bran Mak Morn, Solomon Kane, Kull, Steve Costigan, The
Black Stranger and other american tales which has the scariest story ever
called Pigeons From Hell, Dark Horse Conan comics, Marvel 60's Mag of
Conan, Weird Tales and Works of REH, Lord of Samarcand, Crimson
Shadows Best of REH 1 & 2, and The Star Rover by Jack London which
had a huge influence on REH.
Each year around the time REH passed Jun 13 & 14 is REH days at Cross
Plains, TX. REH Foundation has more info on the net. Tell others about
REH and if you've never read his stories before you're in for a real treat. A
few of my favorites are Rogues in the House, Red Nails, Pigeons From
Hell, The People of the Black Circle, and Beyond The Black River which
would be an awesome movie that I envision Mel Gibson directing. Check
