About
Details
Lovely in a lonely place. A master of horror writes about the Prince of Sleep: I discovered Karl Edward Wagner through my love for sword & sorcery pulps, first in his re-issues of classic Robert E Howard Conan adventures, and later in his own Kane books. My admiration for Wagner’s skill as a storyteller and for his vast knowledge of the horror genre authors and of their work has grown with each story I read.
