So @rtw is a legend and sent me these MINTY Conan books- these are straight from the 1960s. I never see Conan books at thrift, and these are officially the first real, original Conan books I own - I only had a newer compilation, and I'm a massive Robert E. Howard fan. Thank you SO much, dude!! 🔥

This week on Deep Cuts in a Lovecraftian Vein we switch tracks briefly to look at "Women and Robert E. Howard" (1975) by Harold Preece, and reflect on how early fans and scholars treated the women in Howard's life.

A raffle by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society for the restoration of Robert E. Howard (the Conan author)'s historical house (which is currently a museum dedicated for his life and work).
From time to time, the HPLHS conducts a raffle to raise funds for a great cause. It came to our attention that the home of Robert E. Howard in Cross Plains, Texas is in serious need of restoration and needs funds to do it. So we've reached out to some friends in the community and assembled our biggest prize package yet.
Who was Robert E. Howard? He was a friend and correspondent of H.P. Lovecraft. He was a fellow author of pulp fiction. And where Lovecraft created Cthulhu, Howard created Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Solomon Kane and other great characters in his all-too-short writing career. The Robert E. Howard Foundation maintains his home as a museum in Texas. Time has taken its toll on the house, and together we can raise some money to help with its restoration.

Conan – Sort lotus
Jeg indrømmer det: Conan er en tegneseriehelt – på allerbedste vis. Jeg ved godt, at han i 1932 første gang trådte den glemte verden under sine sandalklædte fødder, da Robert E. Howard fik udgivet en novelle i bladet Weird Tales. Men i mit hjerte vil den ÆGTE Conan altid optræde som tegneseriefigur, i Barry Windsors Smiths streg og med horn på sin hjelm.
Men den originale barbar kommer dog i det mindste ind på en andenplads, hvor han kan se hånligt ned på bl.a. Arnold Schwarzenegger og Jason Momoa. For ikke at nævne et hav af efterligninger.
21 noveller blev til til, før Howard døde i 1936, men de historier har levet deres eget liv siden, og Conan er dukket op igen og igen i forskellige udtryksformer. De sidste få år har vi på dansk nydt godt af en række tegneserier, ligesom forlaget Pilgaard har oversat et udvalg – nu har forlaget Escho også meldt sig på banen med en lækker udgivelse, der under titlen “Conan – sort lotus” giver os fem gode omgang sword and sorcery. Og det sker i så lækker udstyr, at den afskar min cirklen om den samlede udgave af Conans eventyr, så jeg i stedet kastede mig over det udvalg, som Anders Jørgen Mogensen har stået for i “Conan – Sort lotus”.
Conan er en cimmerianer, en barbar, der rejser rundt i verden i tiden efter Atlantis’ fald. Der har han en tendens til at møde troldmænd, monstre og letpåklædte kvinder. Sidstnævnte redder han, mens de to andre gerne har skæbnesvangre møder med hans sværd. Det er med andre ord hårdslående fantasy med masser af heltegerninger og svulmende muskler – “civilisationskritik pakket ind i ramasjang”, fortæller forlaget, og det er uden tvivl muligt at læse det sådan; men det er nu under ramasjang, at den tykke, sorte streg er. Og det er ganske fornøjeligt.
“Conan – sort lotus” giver os fem af barbarens eventyr: Elefantens tårn, Den sorte kysts dronning, Skumringens Xuthal, Den sorte rings folk og Røde søm; de rækker fra korte, slagkraftige noveller til Elefantens tårn, der fylder 36 sider i bogen, til Den sorte rings folks 114 sider, og de anbringer Conan i flere forskellige situationer. Han er tyv, sørøver, kriger – men fælles for dem alle er, at de anbringer ham på kollisionskurs med døden; og Conan møder den uden frygt.
Det er med andre ord en stemningsfuld omgang testosteron-suppe, der er på menuen, når man sætter sig ned med barbaren. Howard er på den ene side lige på og hård i handlingen, men også dvælende og dryppende af ældgamle tider i sit sprogbrug, og de to fungerer godt sammen. Nu er jeg ikke den store fantasy-læser, men “Conan – Sort lotus” giver god storladen epik uden at forfalde til endelæse serier, og det er en gave i sig selv – for både fantasy- og horrorelskere.

If you’re of a certain age, the phrase “sword and sorcery” conjures up visions of muscular barbarians and busty damsels fighting monsters or evil wizards on paperback covers illustrated by Frank Frazetta, Boris Vallejo or Jeffrey Catherine Jones. If you’re a little younger or a certain Seattle-based online retailer, “sword and sorcery” might be a synonym for fantasy in general.
However, “sword and sorcery” designates a very specific subgenre of fantasy. Brian Murphy, author of 2019’s Flame and Crimson: A History of Sword-and-Sorcery, identifies the following key elements of the subgenre: sword-and-sorcery tales are short and episodic, flourishing mostly in short fiction, novellas, and very short novels. The protagonists are men and women of action. They are often outsiders, and their motivations are personal, i.e., they’re looking for treasure or revenge, not to save the world or defeat the dark lord. The worldbuilding is based on real world history. Their magic is dark, wild, dangerous, and strongly influenced by horror; there are no magic systems here.
As a distinct subgenre, sword and sorcery is almost 100 years old; Robert E. Howard’s 1929 story “The Shadow Kingdom,” which introduced Kull of Atlantis, is considered the first true sword-and-sorcery story, though some would argue that it had its predecessors. The subgenre emerged in the 1930s and early 1940s, with Robert E. Howard giving us the adventures of Kull of Atlantis, Bran Mak Morn, and of course his most famous creation, Conan the Cimmerian (also known as Conan the Barbarian). Clark Ashton Smith emphasised the horror element of sword-and-sorcery tales in his darkly poetic tales, while Fritz Leiber played up the comedy with rogues Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser. Henry Kuttner gave us Elak of Atlantis and Prince Raynor, and C.L. Moore proved with the adventures of the medieval swordswoman Jirel of Joiry that sword-and-sorcery adventures weren’t just for men.
But even as those authors created this subgenre, there was one problem: This new genre didn’t have a name. In correspondence with fellow writers and friends, Robert E. Howard only referred to the Conan, Kull, and Bran Mak Morn stories as “weird fiction,” a term H.P. Lovecraft also used for his cosmic horror stories. And in a 1924 editorial for Weird Tales, where many of these stories appeared, Assistant Editor Otis Adalbert Kline struggled to explain what sort of fiction the magazine published—science fiction, fantasy, and horror—because none of those terms existed at the time.
After lying dormant for almost 20 years, the genre of sword and sorcery re-emerged in the early 1960s, when editors like Cele Goldsmith Lalli of Fantastic or John Carnell of Science Fantasy started to publish such of stories from new authors like Poul Anderson, Roger Zelazny, John Jakes, and Lin Carter. However, the genre still didn’t have a name.
By now it was becoming painfully clear that this newly revived subgenre needed a name, since “that Conan stuff” didn’t really cut it. One of the new authors, a young Englishman named Michael Moorcock, suggested calling these stories “epic fantasy,” a term which ultimately stuck to a very different type of fantasy.
Meanwhile, Fritz Leiber, the only remaining veteran from the first sword-and-sorcery boom—everyone else was either retired or dead—had a suggestion of his own. In issue two of the fanzine Ancalgon, dated March/April 1961 (1.88 MB .pdf), later reprinted in the fanzine Amra, Leiber wrote:
[…] fantasy adventure—a field which I feel more certain than ever should be called the sword-and-sorcery story. This accurately describes the points of culture-level and supernatural element and also immediately distinguishes it from the cloak-and-sword (historical adventure) story—and (quite incidentally) from the cloak-and-dagger (international espionage) story, too! The word sorcery implies something more and other than historical human witchcraft, so even the element of an alien-yet-human world background is hinted at. At any rate, I’ll use sword-and-sorcery as a good popular catchphrase for the field.
Other writers joined the conversation. Lin Carter suggested “heroic fantasy,” and L. Sprague de Camp “non-historical fantasy adventure.” Ultimately, it was Leiber’s suggestion that stuck because it was descriptive, alliterative, and easy to remember.
In 1963, L. Sprague de Camp edited an anthology of such stories and called it Sword and Sorcery, further popularising the term. And when Lancer reprinted the adventures of Conan the Cimmerian in paperback form with striking Frank Frazetta covers, “sword and sorcery” was cemented as the name of the genre, which is currently undergoing another revival.
Do you enjoy sword-and-sorcery stories? Did you know how the genre originated and who created it? Who are your favourite writers and characters? Let’s continue the conversation in Seattle, as this genre from the past is alive and well in our present and will undoubtedly continue into the future!

Any weird fiction fans here? I'm talking about the real stuff, from Weird Tales of the 1920s/30s.
I got into the genre in the usual way, through Lovecraft. And in the usual way I started exploring work of various writers in his circle, and the work of writers whom Lovecraft admired.

Was searching through some stuff in storage when I came across this old magazine that was published back in 1984. It features detective fiction by Robert E. Howard, who's better known for having created Conan the Barbarian. Looks like I have some reading to do.
