Résumé

Explore the origins of sword and sorcery with Henry Kuttner's Elak of Atlantis! Published in Weird Tales to satisfy fans of Conan the Barbarian in the wake of Robert E. Howard's death, these four stories depict a brutal world of flashing swords and primal magic, touched by a hint of Lovecraft's Cthulhu. These exciting tales helped to establish a genre and are a critical part of any fantasy library.
Also included in this collection are Kuttner's two rare and equally ground-breaking Prince Raynor stories from 1939's Strange Tales. Dive into these seminal, thrilling adventure tales from one of the most important writers in science fiction and fantasy, and discover for yourself why Elak of Atlantis is renowned by scholars as a major step in the evolution of a genre.
