William Hope Hodgson for the win.

Okay, you can have later things in this thread, as long as they aren't Stephen King or "modern horror" like that. They have the spirit of older fiction.

I mean, the older stuff has to have a similar spirit to older speculative/horror fiction

So good, If Howard lived longer I wonder if he would have tried to build some kind of unified narrative

I don't think Howard meant for the Conan narrative to be completely cohesive. It was more like a warrior regaling you with his past adventures that may or may not have all been true or embellished.

Agreed. But still lamenting for all the stories that could have been told. RIP Howard.
