WEIRD MENACE...NOT FOR EVERYONE BUT GOOD,
This review is from: Skull-face (Paperback)
Howard delved into all sorts of genre as he tried to eke out a living...we all know Conan, Kull, Solomon Kane, etc...but one of the genres he also delved into was weird menace stories...These were quite popular in the day, particularly in the 30's pulp era of Weird Tales and others...Skull Face is one of those weird Menace stories, influenced somewhat by Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. Steve Costigan, not Sailor Steve of Howards fighting sailor series, comes under the influence of a mysterious being in the Orient, circa the 1920's. The being uses opium to control people and do his bidding. The Being, one Kathulos (cthulhu?) is supposed to be a sorcerer who was found in a tomb and is a survivor of ancient Atlantis. A little outlandish but kind of a fun adventure story. The book contains a couple of short sequels to the main story.
