Hi all, I am very, very happy to present The Tower of the Elephant by Robert E. Howard. This is a Conan short story that first appeared in Weird Tales, March 1933. According to Manybooks, there is no copyright on it. Wahoo!

Set in the pseudo-historical Hyborian Age, this story concerns Conan infiltrating a perilous city spire to steal a fabled gem from an evil sorcerer named Yara. One of the best Conan the Cimmerian stories that Howard wrote.

I was so excited that a Conan story was available that I changed my cover layout. I decided to make made the e-book cover look more like a "cover." I'm also working on the formatting and the covers of the other Howard stories that are in the public domain. Enjoy! :D

Edit: I cleaned up the quotation marks in this version.

I believe all the Conan stories are on PG Australia. I was going to do some anthologies of them, but feel free to do them yourself :).

The Conan stories are all PG there?!?! Wow, very cool. All of the Solomon Kane stories are PG in Australia too. But since I am in US how does that work? I am thinking that you could do it because you are in UK, but I couldn't because I am in US.

I love the idea of an anthology, but I am unable to do with my .lrf creation software. Anthology of Solomon Kane would be great too, but once again the Australia vs US situation again.

Any ideas? I would love to do the cover for anyone doing a Conan or Solomon Kane set....

Our policy here is that it's fine to post here anything that's in any of the major PD book collections. From a practical perspective, nobody's going to get into trouble posting as a free download something that anyone can download themselves, so go ahead and do the Robert Howard stuff if you wish. We would, of course, respect a formal request by the US copyright holder to remove it, but the chances of that happening are, to put it mildly, not large. It would be a different matter if you tried to sell it commercially in the US, but I think we can assume that you're not going to do that, can't we? :grin:

Excellent! Ok, it's officially my life's mission to post as much of the PD Robert E. Howard stuff as I can find. I'll post in the "books we're working on" thread too. Thanks for the clarification Harry!

Yay!!

Yay!!
