Skull-Face

About this book

In Robert E. Howard's Skull-Face, Stephen Costigan, a broken man sinking into addiction, drifts between the drug dens of fog-bound London and the banks of the Thames until he is drawn into a conspiracy led by a mysterious being with a face like a skull, intent on reshaping the history of the world. Amid this decline appears Zuleika, a young woman from the East whose love gives him a reason to resist. The novel blends classic horror with adventure and suspense, and asks whether human will can break free of total domination. This Arabic translation by Ahmed Fouad is published by Dar Sayd Al-Khater as the second title in the Midnight Classics series.
