Robert E Howard’s ‘Rattle of Bones’ (A Solomon Kane Tale) Featuring ‘Witch Child’
‘Black shadows wavered on the walls as the two followed their silent host down a long, dark hall. The stocky, broad body of their guide seemed to grow and expand in the light of the small candle which he carried, throwing a long, grim shadow behind him. At a certain door he halted, indicating that they were to sleep there. –Robert E. Howard (Rattle of Bones)

I’ve broken the laws of man and God,

I’ve turned from the ways that in youth I trod–
Yonder the Skull Flag flies unfurled.

HAUNTING DEATH HORROR: Algernon Blackwood’s ‘The Dance of Death’
He felt the cool air of the open sky on his cheeks,
and when he looked down, as they cleared the summit
of the dark-lying hills, he saw that Issidy had melted
away into himself and they had become one being.
And he knew then that his heart would never pain
him again on earth, or cause him to fear for any of his
beloved dreams. –Algernon Blackwood (The Dance of Death)
Robert E. Howard ‘Witchfire’: A Fiery Collection
And waving in a dusky dragon light
Great moths whose wings unholy tapers char.
Red memory on memory, tier on tier, Builds up a tower, time and space to span;
Through world on world I rise, and sphere on sphere,
To star-shot gulfs of lunacy and fear— Black screaming ages never dreamed by man.’
–Robert E. Howard (Babel)
