Midwest Book Review Robert E. Howard wrote pulp fiction that stirred the imagination with vivid images, larger-than-life characters, and cliff-hanger plot lines. Although mostly noted as the creator of the Conan stories, Howard also wrote thrilling pirate yarns as well. Black Vulmea's Vengeance is a collection of three novelettes about pirates. Interwoven with the pirate swash and buckle are glimpses of lost dead cities protected in bizarre ways, of devil-haunted caves, and weird revenge. "Swords of the Red Brotherhood" is the longest and best of Howard's non-Conan pirate stories, an exciting departure from the normal pirate yarn. "The Isle of Pirate's Doom" and "Black Vulmea's Vengeance" fill out this oversized volume which also features seven spectacular full-color interior illustrations by Robert J. Pailthorpe.
