Christmas Books

   Black Gate's short piece on Jeffrey E. Barlough's new Western Lights novel, "What I Found at Hoole" made me want to catch on the series.  I've read several of the earlier books but in my transition to e-books over the past two years I've tended to not buy hard copies.  When a books, like Barlough's, don't exist in an electronic form I tend to shy away from them.  But, Christmas time being upon us I didn't hesitate to populate my Amazon wish list with them.









   I'm not going to get to all of these too soon but I love knowing they're on the shelf.  Right now I'm staring at "Space Eldritch" and "Prince of Thorns".

Christmas Present - woo hoo!

 

 Got this for Christmas from my father-in-law (I did ask for it).  It's got the contents of "The Sowers of the Thunder" and "The Road of Azrael" along with more of Howard's rip snorting historical adventures.  Several stories were bastardized and mutated into Conan tales by Sprague de Camp in order to fill in "gaps" in Conan's timeline.  I'm not even sure those are available anymore.  Here they are in their pristine, Howard-pure versions.
