Hello!
Thank you for accepting me to this forum. I have been reading Howard's stories and Conan pastiches for quite some time now (mostly in German translation) and I've started to get interested in it on a deeper level.
I found Patrick Burgers huge work "The Political Unconscious in the Works of Robert E. Howard and Ernst Jünger" and was surprised by how much has been thought about this author whom I believed to be not recognised on an academic level at all.
I found a few more articles and among the references Burger used, a lot of them linked to publications by the Robert Ervin Howard united press association. I could find a few associated fanzines online and it led me to a lot of great content but I couldn't find the publications by the REHupa itself. I tried to message the mail-adress listed on the REHeapa site but I couldn't send a mail and my mail program gave me some errors. Links to the REHupa site redirected me to the Howard Days Facebook group and I sadly don't use Facebook.
So I don't want to talk too much and just ask:
1. Is there a way to get access to REHupa content? I believe there is a lot to find out about Howard this way.
And while I am at it:
2. Is there a way to receive old newsletters of the REH foundation?
And:
3. Is there a bibliography of secondary sources either on Howard or Conan (which I am most interested in)? I've seen lots of bibliographies of original stories and pastiches but didn't find one of secondary sources and accademic articles yet that really satisfied me.
Thank you already in advance and greetings from Germany! I hope I can redo the favor in the future and contribute as well.

As far as I know this is the best Howard biography  |

Thanks for the quick reply!
I was looking for a bibliography, not biography though. Like a list of articles, books etc. on Howard/Conan.

Thank you, hun. (That sounded weird, huh)
I've looked through Howard Works a lot before but apparently never spotted the "About REH" section. Seems like there is some stuff I didn't know yet as well!

REHupa newsletters are only sent out between the 36 members of the association but as you noted they do turn up on Ebay at times.
The REHFP newsletter is sent out to members dependent on which level they subscribe at , again some might turn up I imagine on Ebay.

Thank you for your answer, Terry.
It is kind of sad to me that the REHupa content is so artificially scarce. It would be so easy nowadays to share the knowledge collected in the zines and what I've seen so far is promising too...

I haven't seen the Dark Man Journal before and I think I'll will just order the whole bunch the next time I buy something! Thanks for the tip.

I've been meaning to reply to this request, but I've been so busy these past few weeks. Anyway, this is definitely one of the difficult aspects of Howard fandom and Howard scholarship is that it shows up in some hard to get sources. I'm still trying to track down all of the issues of The Dark Man and I have been slowly collecting REH: Two-Gun Raconteur. I was really lucky and found an entire run of The Cimmerian on Ebay. Hard to find and when you do find them, they can be expensive. That was one of the reasons I started the thread "Wayback with Howard" pulling on some old, now defunct websites that had good content. Here is one that is not as active as it once appears to have been, but is still available:  The link to it is here: www.robert-e-howard.org/home.html |

Thank you. Seems like we are all in this together.
It would be best to just digitalize most of it and make it available for everyone online. But it is a lot of work for just a few dozens of interested people...
I saw this site too and actually that is the one I tried to message initially.

I know you've said you don't use Facebook but many of the folks who put out stuff you're interested in are , along with a number of Groups/Pages they interact with , so it is a useful tool getting in touch with them. |
