Heroes In The Wind by Robert E. Howard

A posthumous collection of tales and essays that gathers visceral adventure fiction across genres—proto-sword-and-sorcery sketches, brooding early heroic pieces, hard-bitten Westerns and boxing yarns—tracing the evolution of a mythic, larger-than-life sensibility; lean, muscular prose and relentless action underscore recurring themes of barbarism versus civilization, fate and decline, and a bittersweet nostalgia for solitary heroes who clash with savage landscapes and corrupt societies.
