Robert E. Howard came into the fiction magazine scene virtually on Dashell Hammett's heels. By that time Howard was a full-fledged professional writer; he was willing to try any marketplace to make a living. Despite an aversion to the detective formula, he wrote the tales in Graveyard Rats during the same years he chronicled the adventures of Conan. This collection features a new introduction by scholar Don Herron, editor of "The Dark Barbarian," the definitive look at the life and work of Robert E. Howard.

Graveyard Rats and Others
Howard is a brilliant author, but not a particularly good mystery writer. Don Herron (who wrote the introduction to my copy) is a brilliant scholar, but never less so when he's trying to convince me that Howard's work in the field can stand up to Hammett or Chandler. If you honestly don't care for what you're writing, that's going to shine through. So an extra star, just because it's Howard.
Also, I've heard of the yellow peril. This is the first time I've seen it used specifically to apply to Mongolians, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. On the one hand, it's probably good that Howard acknowledges that not all Asians are evil incarnate. On the other hand, Mongolians?
