A forthcoming book from the REH Foundation…

Collected here for the first time are three surviving drafts of Howard’s section of the story [the round-robin “The Challenge from Beyond”, with Lovecraft as one participant], all from Howard’s typescripts, and the final version, as published in Fantasy Magazine for September 1935. Taken together, these drafts reveal a writer who isn’t just pounding out a few pages for a fan publication, but one who is painstaking in his decisions and interested in presenting his own worldview, even in just a little more than three pages. Coming soon — with cover art by Tim Truman!
