88-Wolves Beyond the Border
A scout creeps through the pitch-black Pictish wilderness toward a war-drum and a ritual of sorcery that no man should witness.
by Robert E. Howard
About this book
Night has fallen over the Wilderness beyond the Westermarck border, and the thunder of a Pictish war-drum rolls through the black forest. A lone frontier scout, hidden in the brambles and far from any safety, creeps toward the sound, knowing it promises fire, torture and doom for every settler's cabin along the frontier. What he finds in a firelit glade is stranger and more horrifying than any ordinary raid: painted warriors of the Hawk Clan, a blood-stained stone altar, a masked shaman and a rite of savage sorcery that no man was meant to witness. Wolves Beyond the Border is a rare, unfinished Hyborian Age tale from the pen of Robert E. Howard, creator of Conan the Cimmerian. It is set on the same bloody frontier as Beyond the Black River and shares its atmosphere of dread. Told in the first person, it drips with tension, primeval menace and the clash between civilisation and the untamed wild. It is essential reading for fans of sword-and-sorcery, dark fantasy and pulp adventure, and for collectors who follow the Conan stories in chronological order. At around 8,700 words, it is a quick, atmospheric read for a single evening. Start reading online instantly in your browser, with no download required.
