From Robert E. Howard?s fertile imagination sprang some of fiction?s greatest heroes, including Conan the Cimmerian, King Kull, and Solomon Kane. But of all Howard?s characters, none embodied his creator?s brooding temperament more than Bran Mak Morn, the last king of a doomed race.
In ages past, the Picts ruled all of Europe. But the descendants of those proud conquerors have sunk into barbarism . . . all save one, Bran Mak Morn, whose bloodline remains unbroken. Threatened by the Celts and the Romans, the Pictish tribes rally under his banner to fight for their very survival, while Bran fights to restore the glory of his race.
Lavishly illustrated by award-winning artist Gary Gianni, this collection gathers together all of Howard?s published stories and poems featuring Bran Mak Morn?including the eerie masterpiece ?Worms of the Earth? and ?Kings of the Night,? in which sorcery summons Kull the conqueror from out of the depths of time to stand with Bran against the Roman invaders.
Also included are previously unpublished stories and fragments, reproductions of manuscripts bearing Howard?s handwritten revisions, and much, much more.
Special Bonus: a newly discovered adventure by Howard, presented here for the very first time.

ROBERT E. HOWARD STILL THE BEST OF THE BEST!!! -  |
Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Review |
|
There are so many good things about this book! The introduction is superb! Here's a small sample by Rusty Burke, 'Robert E. Howard (1906-1936), in a writing career that spanned less than a dozen years, created many memorable fantasy adventure characters, such as Conan, Kull, and Solomon kane, who continue to thrill readers long after they first appeared in the legendary magazine, Weird Tales. The seemingly endlessly inventive author also created enormously popular characters in other genres, such as the wester tall tales of Breckenridge Elkins, the rollicking misadventrues of Sailor Costigan, and the Middle Easdtern exploits of El Borak and Kirby O'Donnell. But of all the many characters he created, none seem to have held for the Texas author a fascination to equal that of the people he called Picts, and their great king, Bran Mak Morn. Contents are: Foreward, Introduction, Men of the Shadows, King of the Night, A Song of the Race, Worms of the Earth, The Dark Man, The Last Race, Poem, Miscellane, The Little People, The Little People-Typescript, The Children of the Night, Bran Mak Morn, Bran Mak Morn manuscript, Synopsis, Worms of the Earth - Draft Version, Fragment, Poem - Previously Unpublished, Untitled, Appendices, REH and the Picts, A chronology, REH Bran Mak Morn and the Picts, Note on the original Howard Texts. Sketches byl Gary Gianni. Gary does a superb job on these sketches which are about every other page and coincides with the stories! How can I wear the harness of toil, And sweat at the daily round, While in my soul forever The drums of Pictdom sound? by REH on page 187 Miscellanea. Enjoy!
Also recommended: Whole Wide World by Novalyne Price who dated REH during the last few years of his life. This is a must have and also see the DVD The Whole Wide World starring Renee Zellweger and Vincent D'Onofrio as REH. Blood & Thunder, The Life & Art of REH by Mark Finn, The Last of The Trunk and The Never Ending Story by Paul Herman, Selected Letters of REH by Rob Roehm, Dark Horse comics, Roy Thomas Conan and Conan The Phenom, Two-Gun Bob, The Dark Barbarian and The Barbaric Triumph by Don Herron, Savage Sword of Conan, The Beast from the Abyss a story about Cats and my all time favorite. Check out the REH Foundation and Forum! |

Kull in disguise -  |
Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Review |
|
A significant portion of this book was just a repeat of the story in Kull. I feel I was ripped off by the ads for this book.Again, a disjointed portrayal of a great writer by the authors |

Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Review |
|
Another in the Del Rey Robert E. Howard collection, and like the Kull volume chock full of assorted material to go along with the stories. Here you find more than one poem, some articles, drafts, and even a copy of some of the actual typed pages of one story. Fragments of stories, fragments of plays. Even the geeky editorial correction notes.
There is a lot of Pict to be found here. One of the most interesting things is at the end, where Howard's writing and thinking about the Pict race is traced via correspondence with H. P. Lovecraft and others, and analysed by the article writers. A very worthy inclusion, indeed. Also a reasonable number of illustrations to be found in this volume.

Beyond Sword and Socery, This is Literature! - |
Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Review |
|
Beauty and savagery, sorrow and violence, such is the song of Bran Mak Morn. These are violent fantasy tales, but written with such literary flare you cannot put them down. Robert E. Howard captures the emotion of rage like no one else. As an exploration of rage and the things it can drive men to do, this is a superlative work. As compelling adventure stories, nothing is better. |

Less bran than expected -  |
Bran Mak Morn: The Last King Review |
|
I hadn't read any of these stories before, though I like Conan and Kane. Overall, I was a bit disappointed. The books seemed to have a lot of fillter, and the stories were only loosely connected. Some were definitely atmospheric, so it wasn't that the individual stories were disappointing. Just that I expected stories about a central character and got stories about a central idea -- the race of the Picts in a Howard's mythology. |
