Discuss Containing Books Conan of Cimmeria (Conan the Barbarian)

Just keeping some notes as Im reading this. This is the British printing (by Sphere Books) of the second book in the Lancer Conan series with the Frank Frazetta cover. For some reason Sphere calls it the sixth book? Yet it clearly takes up right after the end of the first one. Dont know what thats about.The Curse of the Monolith - this is another Conan story in the de Camp/Carter style. Nothing amazing or essential but not bad.The Bloodstained God - this is not really a Conan story and it shows.

Probably one of my all time favorite book covers. This cover is pure Conan. Just look at him battling 2 frost giants! awesome. This was the first Conan book I ever read. I instantly became a fan of Robert E Howard and this character. I probably spent endless hours redrawing this cover and dreaming of battling giants with swords and axes through most of my early teens ( 12 - 15). I quickly went to the library and checked out all the other books in the series.

The second of the Conan series by Robert E. Howard, edited by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter. I appear to be in the minority on this one, but I found this volume to be weaker than its predecessor."The Curse of the Monolith" 2.5/5 StarsAn L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter contribution, this one begins with Conan acting incredibly stupid and out of character. In previous stories, as well as later ones in this volume, Conan seems less interested in treasure and shrugs it off when it slips from

In order to enjoy pulp fiction, one must often make allowances for the backward racial attitudes of the time. Since this collection of stories finds Conan adventuring in the Black Kingdoms, such unfortunate references are more pervasive than usual and detracted from the pleasure of the reading experience. In addition, most of these stories are of the monster-of-the-week type, which loses interest even when well written. As usual, self-appointed collaborators Lin Carter and L. Sprague de Camp

This one has to get 5 stars, because it contains my absolute favorite Conan story, the Frost Giant's Daughter. My personal Conan timeline puts that tale as his first.. de Camp here has it after he's travelled some, which doesn't make alot of sense to me based on the naivety he displays.. de Camp then tried to cement his time line with reference in one of his filler stories, but whatever.It also contains the Song of Belit, which taken by itself is not all the great, but which of course was taken

These books are difficult to get next to because of the additions by L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Carter. What they were attempting was fun and worthwhile but just not as good as the muscular dynamism of Howard's prose. Why four stars then? Because there are three of Howard's stories in here and they are still wonderful. I gave this book four stars on the strength of Queen of the Black Coast and The Frost Giant's Daughter alone.

From 5th to 8th grade, I was deeply involved in Howard's Conan series. I traded 'em away for comics pretty much immediately after reading each, but found one at a flea market a year or so ago. Now I am deeply disturbed that I was weaned on them--but they are still cool. If you enjoyed the Conan experience, you might want to rent The Whole Wide World which tells the story of the young Robert Howard.
