    Die düstere Figur des Solomon Kane wurde von Robert E. Howard geschaffen, der mit Conan von Cimmerien und anderen Helden der Schwert und Magie-Fantasy weltberühmt wurde. Stephen King: »In Howards besten Erzählungen steckt eine so unglaubliche Energie, dass geradezu Funken sprühen!« H. P. Lovecraft: »Welcher Schriftsteller kann schon mit Howard mithalten, wenn es um pure, lebendige Angst geht?« Festa CLASSICS – die wahren Meisterwerke der Dark Fiction. Diese Ausgabe ist illustriert von Timo Wuerz. Inhalt: Blutige Schatten Schädel inmitten der Sterne Klappernde Knochen Der Schädelmond Die Berge der Toten Schritte im Grabmal Schwingen in der Nacht Solomon Kanes Heimkehr (Gedicht) Der eine schwarze Fleck (Gedicht) Die rechte Hand der Verdammnis Die Rückkehr von Sir Richard Grenville (Gedicht) Die blaue Flamme der Rache Robert E. Howard: »Solomon Kane ist ein Mann, der aus seiner Zeit heraus geboren wurde – eine seltsame Mischung aus Puritaner und Kavalier, mit einem Hauch des antiken Philosophen und mehr als einem Hauch des Heiden ... ein umherziehender Ritter im düsteren Gewand des Fanatikers. Ein Hunger in seiner Seele trieb ihn immer weiter, ein Drang, alles Unrecht zu berichtigen, alles Schwächere zu schützen, alle Verbrechen gegen Recht und Gerechtigkeit zu rächen.« Robert Bloch: »Hinter Howards Erzählungen lauert eine dunkle Poetik und die zeitlose Wahrheit der Träume.«
