Why read it?
1 author picked The Savage Tales of Solomon Kane as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

My introduction to him led me to countless other pulps which still hold up to today and should be enjoyed by readers everywhere.
From Ty'Ron's list on dark fantasy books that fascinate the minds of storytellers and their craft.
