    About this ebook

    In „Black Wind Blowing”, Howard lays it on so thick I half suspected he was trying to do a spoof on the genre. But then, his normal storytelling was always full of bizarre images, hyperactive violence and heavy use of adjectives so this story is probably just an extreme example. It helps too, that „Black Wind Blowing” has enough wild premises to build at least two or three effective horror stories on. If you’re not moved by what’s going on at the moment, by the next page the story has shifted gears in a weirder direction.

      Black Wind Blowing - Robert E. Howard

      Robert E. Howard

      Black Wind Blowing

      Warsaw 2018

      Contents

      I. I TAKE THIS WOMAN!

      II. TELL THEM—IN PITY'S NAME

      III. DEAD MADNESS

      IV. CRACKLING BLUE FLAME

      I. I TAKE THIS WOMAN!

      EMMETT GLANTON jammed on the brakes of his old Model T and skidded to a squealing stop within a few feet of the apparition that had materialized out of the black, gusty night.

      What the Hell do you mean by jumping in front of my car like that? he yelled wrathfully, recognizing the figure that posed grotesquely in the glare of the headlights. It was Joshua, the lumbering halfwit who worked for old John Bruckman; but Joshua in a mood such as Glanton had never seen before. In the white glare of the lights the fellow’s broad brutish face was convulsed; foam flecked his lips and his eyes were red as those of a rabid wolf. He brandished his arms and croaked incoherently. Impressed, Glanton opened the door and stepped out of the car. On his feet he was inches taller than Joshua, but his rangy, broad-shouldered frame did not look impressive compared to the stooped, apish bulk of the halfwit.

      There was menace in Joshua’s mien. Gone was the dull, apathetic expression he usually wore. He bared his teeth and snarled like a wild beast as he rolled toward Glanton.

      Keep away from me, blast you! Glanton warned. What’s the matter with you, anyway?

      You’re goin’ over there! mouthed the halfwit, gesturing vaguely southward. Old John called you over the phone. I heered him!

      Yes, he did, answered Glanton. Asked me to come over as quick as I could. Didn’t say why. What about it? You want to ride back with me?

      Joshua jumped up and down and battered his hairy breast like an ape with his splay fists. He gnashed his teeth and howled. Glanton’s flesh crawled a little. It was black night, with the wind howling under a black sky, whipping the mesquite. And there in that little spot of light that apish figure cavorted and raved like a witch’s familiar summoned up from Hell.

      I don’t want to ride with you! bellowed Joshua. You ain’t goin’ there! I’ll kill you if you try to go! I’ll twist your head off with my hands! He spread his great fingers and worked them like the hairy legs of great spiders before Glanton’s face. Glanton bristled at the threat.

      What are you raving about? he demanded. I don’t know why Bruckman called me, but–

      I know! howled Joshua, froth flying
