Reviews"A hero of mythic proportion, fashioned by a storyteller who helped define what a modern fantasy should be.Rogues in the Houseis one of the finest tales of sword and sorcery ever written." -Raymond E. Feist, author,The Riftwar Cycle, "Howard was the Thomas Wolfe of fantasy, and most of his Conan tales seem to almost fall over themselves in their need to get out." --Stephen King, "Howard was the Thomas Wolfe of fantasy, and most of his Conan tales seem to almost fall over themselves in their need to get out." -Stephen King, The energy of the writing practically thrums off the page and often the sense of tension and unease invoked is genuinely unsettling. Read it, then use the weighty tome to smite your enemies, drive them before you and hear the lamentation of their women!, "A hero of mythic proportion, fashioned by a storyteller who helped define what a modern fantasy should be. Rogues in the House is one of the finest tales of sword and sorcery ever written." --Raymond E. Feist, author, The Riftwar Cycle
