Is there any connect in Howard's stories between Conan and el Borak?

The Siege of Lamakan by James Lovegrove is reviewed. Some jokes by me that probably aren't funny, but otherwise a serious review of a likable introduction of El Borak to the Heroic Legends e-book series. https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/09/24/review-el-borak-the-siege-of-lamakan-by-james-lovegrove

Conan fanfic books, The Return of Akivasha and The Scions of Ymir are discussed. Two books you most likely never heard of and will never read, https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/09/20/two-knockoffs-the-return-of-akivasha-and-the-scions-of-ymir/

Akivasha was in a Conan novel and a Kull movie. Sprague de Camp letter. Gaming stats by Vincent Darlage. Check it out. https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/09/13/akivasha-i-am-the-woman-who-never-died/

Back in 1983, Universal Studios put on a Conan stage show. Sprague was among the attendees, Photos from their visit and an article by Catherine de Camp. Fun stuff from the days when Sword & Sorcery made it to Hollywood. https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/09/06/the-adventures-of-conan-a-sword-and-sorcery-spectacular/

Hi all!

Hoping to find someone in the know: I have a complete set of first edition REH Foundation books, but I see they're being re-released; however, I can't seem to find whether or not tje books contain new material (forwards/research, stories, fragments) besides the cover art. Does anyone here know?

Thanks!

Vincent Darlage reviews Conan: City of the Dead by John Hocking. Not just a review, we have gaming stats for the Emerald Lotus and thoughts (and photos) of a new Hyborian Age map. Check it out. https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/08/27/john-c-hockings-conan-city-of-the-dead/

Vincent Darlage returns as guest blogger to review REH's Tales of Weird Menace. Includes cover and illustration scans from the first appearance of these stories. This is a good look at REH output that gets little attention normally. I welcome guest bloggers: reviews of REH, de Camp, Lin Carter, and S&S all welcome. (Guest blogger Frank Coffman was nominated for REH Foundation Award this year. Give guest blogging a try!) https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/review-tales-of-weird-menace-by-robert-e-howard/

More detailed review for this e-book. The Halls of Immortal Darkness isn't bad, just too routine. Some attempt at humor on my part during the review. https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/08/20/review-conan-the-halls-of-immortal-darkness-by-laird-barron/

This is not just a review. I've included a "Style Sheet" for Conan writers that de Camp prepared during the Bantam Conan period. It is still relevant today. Check it out. It is of interest. https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/08/16/the-bantam-conan-series-conan-and-the-spider-god/

Hi, I am struggling to find a kindle version of the Conan stories. Seems a lot of the “complete” versions are incomplete, poorly formatted and/or in the wrong order. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thank you.

Article on the various books, comics, and a cartoon that featured REH as a character in a fictional work. Everything I know about is covered. Try to see if I left out something! https://spraguedecampfan.wordpress.com/2024/08/07/robert-e-howard-in-fiction/
