Among the tidal-wave of fiction and comics adapting \/ related to Robert E. Howard’s works, there are two new non-fiction books which may interest Tentaclii<\/em> readers.<\/p>\n

The first is Robert E. Howard Changed My Life<\/a><\/em> (June 2021). A chunky 338 pages of reminiscences about individual discovery and appreciation of Howard’s work and life, and how he changed lives. Every copy sold supports the Howard Museum at Cross Plains, Texas, and by extension the Howard Days that take place there. There’s also a \u00a37 (about $10) Kindle ebook edition<\/a>. It might be nice to see something similar done for H. P. Lovecraft, ferreting out a range of ‘Lovecraft changed my life’ historical items from old fanzines and letters pages, and pairing them with similar from living Lovecraftians. I don’t know of any such collection.<\/p>\n

The second is a ‘journal-book’ The Robert E. Howard Collector Volume One: Illustrating Robert E. Howard<\/a><\/em> (September 2021). It appears to be only available as wood-pulp from Lulu as a \u00a330 paperback…<\/p>\n

This book is a collection of articles about the early history of the art and the illustrators who made the works of Robert E. Howard come to life.
