Conan: Lord of the Mount

Praise

Praise for Conan and Robert E. Howard:


Howard’s writing seems so highly charged with energy that it nearly gives off sparks. —Stephen King


In Howard’s grim and all too realistic view, the barbarians are always at the gate, and once a culture allows itself to grow soft, decadent or simply neglectful, it will be swept away by the primitive and ruthless. —Michael Dirda, The Washington Post


I read books, and I dreamed of Mars, and the planets in those books, and of the Hyborian Age of Robert E. Howard’s Conan books… —George R. R. Martin, author of A Game of Thrones


Those of us who believed in Conan at the right moment in our lives never stop believing. We might not grow up to become him, but we never grow out of him, either. —Stephen Graham Jones, author of The Only Good Indians


Praise for Stephen Graham Jones:


Stephen’s writing is a chainsaw and every sentence in this book drips with blood, every paragraph is clotted with skin, and every period is a bullethole. He makes me feel like an amateur.—Grady Hendrix, New York Times bestselling author of The Final Girl Support Group


At once an homage to the horror genre and a searing indictment of the brutal legacy of Indigenous genocide in America, Stephen Graham Jones’ My Heart Is a Chainsaw delivers both dazzling thrills and visceral commentary… Jones takes grief, gentrification and abuse to task in a tale that will terrify you and break your heart all at the same time.—Time


Sneaking in right at the end of the summer is the best horror novel of the year… A loving homage to meta-horror classics like Scream and Cabin in the Woods. Hilarious at one turn and outrageously gruesome at the next, it’ll be the perfect book to read after dark over Labor Day weekend.—GQ on Don’t Fear the Reaper


Stephen Graham Jones is a star when it comes to melding horror with literary fiction, exploring themes of colonialism and racisms alongside Indigenous experiences. He hasn’t been described as the Jordan Peele of horror fiction for nothing…—Book Riot
