In 'Black Canaan,' even the best warrior has little chance of taking down the evil voodoo man with unholy powers-and none at all against his wily mistress, the diabolical High Priestess of Damballah. Included in this collection is Howard's masterpiece 'Pigeons from Hell,' a tale of two travelers who stumble upon the ruins of a Southern plantation-and into the maw of its fatal secret. In this collection of Howard's greatest horror tales, some of the author's best-known characters-Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, and sailor Steve Costigan among them-roam the forbidding locales of Howard's fevered imagination, from the swamps and bayous of the Deep South to the fiend-haunted woods outside Paris to remote jungles in Africa. In a career spanning only twelve years, Howard wrote more than a hundred stories, with his most celebrated work appearing in Weird Tales, the preeminent pulp magazine of the era. Howard, renowned creator of Conan the barbarian, was also a master at conjuring tales of hair-raising horror.
