“Hither came Conan…”
The world’s most famous barbarian comes to The Appendix N Podcast to tread theworks of lesser fantasy authors beneath his sandled feet. We are talking aboutthe earliest Conan stories written by Robert E. Howard, though not necessarilythe first published.www.nobleknight.com
Howard, R. E.:
“Conan” seriesRobert E. Howardborn 1906, died 1936Born in Texas, the only son of a traveling country physician. Traveling withhis father exposed him to firsthand tales of violence that would influencehis writing, and like many people of the time he was greatly interested in thesport of boxing. Howard’s love of poetry and literature came from hismother, Hester. His earliest stories were historical fiction about Vikings,Arabs and lots of violence. His earliest influences were Jack London,Rudyard Kipling and Thomas Bullfinch.In August 1930, Howard wrote to Weird Tales in praise “The Ratsin the Walls” by H. P. Lovecraft. The letter was forwarded to Lovecraftand the two authors became friends. Howard is considered to have contributed tothe Lovecraft Mythos. The correspondence between Howard and Lovecraftcontained a lengthy discussion on a frequent element in Howard’s writing,civilization versus barbarism. Howard held that civilization wasinherently corrupt and fragile.Howard wrote his first Conan story in 1932, adapting an unpublished story “ByThis Axe I Rule!” featuring one of Howard’s other protagonists, Kull theConqueror. Conan would go on to become Howard’s most enduring character.Howard sadly committed suicide in 1936 upon learning that his mother was dyingof tuberculosis.“The Phoenix on the Sword” first published in Weird Tales, December1932“The Frost Giant’s Daughter” first published as “The Gods of the North”in Weird Tales, 1932“The God in the Bowl” reject by Weird Tales, published posthumouslyin Space Science Fiction, September 1952Co-host:
