Great. Like! I hope you defeated your cold successfully. I believe I have read all those stories, bur anyway it's a pleasure to recall thanks to you.

[@blackraptor311]

The cold, for me at least, is a week long annoyance along with up to two weeks of congestion leftovers. Nothing to concern one self's with but thank you. I need to complete this collection that Del Rey made. Need to get El Rorak, the two Best of Collections and that should do it. Thanks.

@@blackraptor311 Good luck.

[@Wabin22]

Was the stories incomplete because Howard didn't complete them, or because Del Ray didn't have time to put them in complete?

[@blackraptor311]

Howard did not complete them. Del Rey wanted to show the stories that Howard has written, even if they were or were not complete.

Thanks. I forgot to mention about the story about a Texan who fights against a Spanish vampire. Thought that was unique.

@@sonnenrad229 I usually just do reviews that encourage others to get into the books themselves. I try not to give to much away, but in this case there are a lot of stories.
