Review # 1 was written on 2017-03-11 00:00:00 John Wagner If you are a Conan fan or a fan of Robert E. Howard's writing then this is a must read. Great articles on the creation of Conan and his world. Very well written. Very recommended

Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-04 00:00:00 Jacob Weintraub I have mixed feelings about about this essay. Schweitzer praises Howard works throughout, but he also spends considerable wordage on complaints of laziness, repetition, weak plotting, etc. Overall, the negatives overshadow the positives. It didn't leave me anxious to dive back into Howard's work, and as a fan, that's not the feeling one ought to walk away with. That said, the essay is well-researched, tracing the history of stories recast and retitled until publication and/or reprinted. It also covers stories and partials edited/reworked by L. Sprague de Camp and others. Schweitzer includes useful recaps of all of Howard's Conan stories and well as ratings that run from "excellent" to "pretty bad."
