Book Review: Beyond The Black River by Robert E. Howard


3 STARS 


A Witch Shall Be Born
2 STARS

This is a really good story in many ways, but it feels like too much story crammed into such a small space. Too much telling going on to get the point across. This could have done better as a full length novel.

The Grisly Horror
3 STARS 

A well written short story. 

Jewels Of Gwahlur
3 STARS

Another good short. 

Beyond The Black River
2 STARS

Despite some really good points, this story had too many scenes where explanation interfered with the action. And any time one character starts a bit of dialogue with some variation on  "As you already know..." it makes me want to throw the book against the wall. 

The Challenge From Beyond
 3 STARS

Well. That was... weird. But in a good kind of way. 

Shadows In Zamboula 
3 STARS

Pretty good story. It could have used with less explaining things that didn't need explaining, but other than that I enjoyed it.
