5.0 out of 5 stars The most complete and accurate collection ever, 5 May 1998
By A Customer
Despite its humble mass market paperback appearance, this is the most complete and accurate collection of Howard's Solomon Kane stories ever published. The deluxe Donald Grant editions ("Red Shadows") and Centaur Press paperbacks published in the 70s were censored to remove possibly offensive racial descriptions. These are excellent stories. Robert E. Howard wrote the novelette "Red Shadows" at the age of 21! Pretty impressive. "Wings in the Night" is one of Howard's very best stories, a sustained, masterful combination of horror and adventure. Particularly interesting for those who, all too easily, call Howard a racist is Kane's strange friendship with the African shaman N'Longa. Baen Books should be heartily congratulated for reprinting these memorable, classic stories of weird adventure, most of which first appeared in the pages of that legendary pulp magazine "Weird Tales" .

4.0 out of 5 stars Great stories from a master of adventure, 16 April 1997
By A Customer
I wholeheartedly agree with solkane@aol's review. Kane is an interesting hero in the typical REH mold. The varied settings of these stories drive home the "stranger in a strange land" aspects and REH's fast-paced style makes for enjoyable reading. I can devour a slew of REH stories like these in one sitting; H.P. Lovecraft's works tend to require more breaks. If you enjoy either author, this book is a fine addition to the genre.
