Synopsis

In Skull-Face Omnibus, what August Derleth described as Howard's "faculty for telling stories . . . equaled by few of his contemporaries" is amply demonstrated. Apart from the full-length novel Skull-Face, perhaps the best Howard ever wrote, this magnificent collection contains the rare article, The Hyborian Age, two poems, appreciations by E. Hoffmann Price and H. P. Lovecraft, and a Foreword by August Derleth. In addition, there are such well-known stories as Worms of the Earth, The Black Stone, Wolfshead, Kings of the Night, and Valley of the Worm. There are also lesser-known tales such as The Horror from the Mound, The Cairn on the Headland, Black Canaan, The Fire of Asshurbanipal, A Man-Eating Leopard, Worms of the Earth, Skulls in the Stars, Rattle of Bones, The Hills of the Dead, Wings in the Night, The Shadow Kingdom, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune, The Phoenix on the Sword, The Scarlet Citadel, The Tower of the Elephant, Rogues in the House, and Shadows in Zamboula.
