The Robert E. Howard House & Museum in Cross Plains, TX is in need of imminent repair work to its foundations, as well as moisture and termite damage. If you can afford to give a little to help keep this bit of pulp history alive, it would be appreciated.

I picked this book up on Joe's recommendation. Very solid.
If you've never read CROM CRUACH, this isn't marketing hyperbole: there really isn't another book in existence quite like it. Just ask @horrorsong.blog 😀
