REH's Favorite Yarns and Rimes

[linefacedscrivener]

In addition to Robert E. Howard Changed My Life by Rogue Blades Foundation being available at Howard Days 2021, I wanted to let everyone know that this book, Robert E. Howard's Favorite Yarns and Rimes (A Sepulcher Press, 2021), will also be available in the gift store. 

The book is a fundraiser for Cross Plains Project Pride, the organization that maintains the Howard House and is the local host for Howard Days. 100% of the sales will go to Project Pride. 

The book is a collection of stories and poems that Howard mentioned in a letter stating he really enjoyed the yarn or rime. Each has a short introduction and then reprints the story/poem in full and, in the case of book length stories, a chapter or two. Most of these are from Weird Tales and Oriental Stories/The Magic Carpet Magazine. 

If you will be at Howard Days 2021 they will be priced at $20.  If you can't be there, they are available on Amazon for $24.99. smile.amazon.com/Robert-Howards-Favorite-Yarns-Rimes/dp/0578827107/ref=sr_1_5?dchild=1&keywords=willard+oliver&qid=1621015495&s=books&sr=1-5
