The Feud Buster, and The Haunted Mountain

Robert Ervin Howard, an influential American pulp writer, is renowned for creating the iconic character Conan the Cimmerian, whose cultural impact rivals that of Tarzan and Sherlock Holmes. His literary journey was shaped by a love for reading and inspiration from authors like Jack London and Rudyard Kipling. Despite his talent, Howard struggled with severe depression from a young age, with friends noting his views on suicide as a release rather than a tragedy. His complex life experiences deeply informed his diverse body of work across multiple genres.
