You can get copies of REH's "Queen of the Black Coast" for
much cheaper than that. I forget which of the Lancer/Ace
Conan volumes it is in (edited by DeCamp); but they crop up
on eBay and abebooks for just a few books each. It is also
collected in one of the Gollancz/Millennium Fantasy
Masterworks volumes by REH. I am at work now and will check
when
I get home.
In Don Herron's DARK BARBARIAN, one of the essays there makes
a very strong case for many of REH's stories being
"hard-boiled" in tone, plot, theme, etc.
