It does seem that Titan is picking up the slack and are publishing Conan novels again, but they have YA-ish covers and do seem to be connected in some kind of event….doesn’t sound particularly interesting to me so I haven’t checked them out. They also publish short stories as individual ebooks, which seems a bit 2012, I guess they’ll collect them at some point.
@@ellesse3862oh that’s good to know, and yeah I did read the Hocking novel, good s&s not very convincing as Conan! What did you think of these new covers? They bring to mind cartoon network or something like that (samurai jack?), a shame they didn’t do covers like the old Tor paperbacks!
@@konstantinos-6-6-6-8 You didn't think Hocking's Conan was convincing, oh, I think its one of the better Conans. I wonder what our Cimmarian September hosts will think of it. Hrm the stylised covers for the new Conan books City of the Dead & Cult of the Obsidian Moon, I don't know your pop culture reference well enough, Tor-like painted covers would be glorious. I think the stylised silhouette design is eye catching, its not a bad look, not what I expected, not sure how much milage you can get out of it. Its a condenced and simplified piece of graphic communication, its modern and prehistoric in essence. I don't dislike it. What is odd is that Blood of the Serpent doesn't have that style cover.

Only the upcoming novel Cult of the Obsidian Moon is event related. Conan : City of the Dead is worth checking out.
