The Heroic Legends series is a partnership between Titan Books and Heroic Signatures to publish new stories featuring the characters created by Robert E. Howard. Launched in 2023, the series releases novellas in ebook format, with each one written by a different modern author. The format is inspired by the short fiction Howard originally wrote for pulp magazines like Weird Tales, and the novellas aim to capture that same fast-paced energy.
The lineup covers several Howard characters. Conan the Barbarian gets the most entries, with stories by John C. Hocking, Shaun Hamill, and Laird Barron among others. Solomon Kane, the Puritan swordsman, appears in novellas by Steven Savile and Shaun Hamill. Michael A. Stackpole wrote a Belit story, and James Lovegrove contributed an El Borak adventure. Barron’s entry, Conan: The Halls of Immortal Darkness (2024), follows Conan through Stygia after a snakebite nearly kills him, blending sword and sorcery action with the dark atmosphere that Barron brings to everything he writes.
