    Howard’s fertile imagination sprang some of fiction’s greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howard’s characters, none embodied his creator’s brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn, the last king of a doomed race.In ages past, the Picts ruled all of Europe. But the descendants of those proud conquerors have sunk into barbarism . . . all save one, Bran Mak Morn, whose bloodline remains unbroken. Threatened by the Celts and the Romans, the Pictish tribes rally under his banner to fight for their very survival, while Bran fights to restore the glory of his race. Lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, this collection gathers together all of Howard’s published stories and poems featuring Bran Mak Morn–including the eerie masterpiece “Worms of the Earth” and “Kings of the Night,” in which sorcery summons Kull the conqueror from out of the depths of time to stand with Bran against the Roman invaders. Also included are previously unpublished stories and fragments, reproductions of manuscripts bearing Howard’s handwritten revisions, and much, much more. Special Bonus: a newly discovered adventure by Howard, presented here for the very first time.

    FETISH: Any object, part of the body, etc., that, althoughnot of a sexual nature, causes an erotic response or fixation.This detailed, far-reaching study of sexual abnormality rivals Krafft_Ebing's Psychopathia Sexualis in its illuminating investigation of the darker sides of man's erotic nature.Like that monumentally important work, this book offers profound insights into the sexually aberrant personality whose sensual responses remain fixated on 'things' instead of people.Employing the technique of authentic case histories, The Sexual Fetish examines the root causes, curious manifestations and prognoses of several varieties of sexual 'hangups'.It will be a valuable work for those men and women professionally involved in the treatment of the sexually aberrant personality, as well as the general intelligent reader who wishes to know more about the problems of the deviant in our contemporary life.
