The Robert E. Howard Foundation Press has made progress on the release of their Ultimate Editions. Unlike the limited editions, there will be no set number of copies and they will be available through normal commercial outlets like Amazon. The contents may be updated compared to the limited editions.

The Robert E. Howard Foundation ( https://rehfoundation.org/ ) has been slowly getting its website in order, including adding perks to membership.

If you're a Friend of REH or Legacy Circle member, you now have access to the first two issues from Volume 1 (2007) to read online. What’s even better than the original print versions? These digital versions are not limited to black and white—bringing new life to the newsletters!

This is just the beginning, and more issues will be added over time.

On the r/Cimmeria Reading Club, we're reading the Kull of Atlantis stories, in order of publication. This month we're reading and discussing "The Skull of Silence."

If you want a print or audio book to follow along, the best version is Kull: Exile of Atlantis.

Welcome all! This is the reading club for r/Cimmeria, and we're starting out by reading all of the Kull of Atlantis stories by Robert E. Howard in order of publication.

This month we read "Riders Beyond the Sunrise," which was unpublished during Howard's lifetime. It first saw print in the Lancer King Kull (1967), and was adapted to comics by Roy Thomas, Sal Buscema, and Tony DeZuniga in Marvel Preview #19 in 1979.

This is one of several false starts as Howard wrestled with various plot ideas in relation to Kull - about a Valusian nobleman or noblewoman unable to marry as they wished because of their station, and the machinations of Thulsa Doom. Howard seemed to really struggle with how to make these gel into a sufficiently interesting - and weird - story, though he clearly liked the theme, since her included some version of it straight into "By This Axe I Rule!" Still, he must have given it up as unworkable, because he dropped it entirely in the transition from Kull to Conan and never revisited it.

I've always had a suspicion that the plot-germ originates in that of David and Bathsheba.

Tell us what you think about this story!

Next month we read "The Skull of Silence."

If you want a print or audio book to follow along, the best version is Kull: Exile of Atlantis.

Anyone know whether the monthly Heroic Legends ebooks have ended with James Lovegrove’s The Siege of Lamakan or whether any more are planned?
