''Blood & Thunder: The Life & Art of Robert E. Howard'' is a biography of the writer Robert E. Howard by Mark Finn, first published in a trade paperback edition in November 2006 by MonkeyBrain Books. A second, expanded and corrected edition was published in hardcover by The Robert E. Howard Foundation Press in January 2012; a trade paperback followed from the same publisher in 2013. Both editions include an introduction by suspense writer Joe R. Lansdale. The work, an examination of the famous fantasy writer and creator of Conan the Barbarian, was the first major biography of Howard since ''Dark Valley Destiny: the Life of Robert E. Howard'' (1983) by L. Sprague de Camp, Catherine Crook de Camp and Jane Whittington Griffin. Finn's book was intended as a corrective to both the earlier biography〔(Murphy, Brian. "''Blood & Thunder: The Life & Art of Robert E. Howard'': A review" Oct. 16, 2008 )〕 and the various misconceptions about Howard that had accumulated since the writer's death.〔(''Publishers Weekly'' review ), quoted on Amazon.com.〕 ==Contents (2nd edition)== *Introduction (Joe Lansdale) *Part 1 * *The Oil Boom * *Isaac and Hester * *The Traveling Howards * *Post Oak Country *Part 2 * *Authentic Liars * *The Tattle * *Soda Jerk * *The Deal *Part 3 * *The Fighting Costigans * *Lovecraft * *Conan *Part 4 * *Novalyne * *Vultures and Grizzlies * *All Fled, All done * *Mythology *Afterword *Notes on the 2nd Edition *Bibliography *Index *Title Index *Acknowledgements 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blood & Thunder: The Life & Art of Robert E.
