Pigeons from Hell
An Open Window poemThis has a nice cover and a rather general foreword which concentrates on a mini-bio and not on Howard´s Mythos work which always struck me as strange. All the usual suspects here. Personally I prefer Dig me no Grave over Pigeons from Hell which somehow has become THE Howard horror story. And of course The Black Stone which is for me THE Howard Mythos tale. His von Junzt is for me one of his greatest characters, maybe because it seems so bizarre that a guy in Texas created a German magician connected to a city I know well.
