Recent acquisitions:

Boxing Stories by Robert E. Howard. Howard created Conan, the great sword and sorcery character. He was a prolific writer for American pulp magazines in the 1920's and 30's. Wrote westerns, sword and sorcery, sports fiction. Boxing stories were popular at the time and he wrote a lot of those. His prose has a drive that I've rarely seen matched. Died when he was only 30, too.

Star Western Stories. "A treasury of 22 classic western stories from the golden age of pulp fiction." Some names I recognize like Max Brand, Luke Short and others, but mostly unknown to me. Stories from the 20's, 30's, 40's. The best of the stories from a magazine called Star Western. Should be good.

The Western Stories of Elmore Leonard. I've read some of Leonard's crime novels (Get Shorty comes to mind), but before he began a career writing those, he had a career as a western pulp writer. These stories are from the 50's, when the pulps were dying out. Leonard switched to crime fiction. One of the stories in this book is "Three-ten to Yuma," which was made into a movie.

And the book I've just begun, A Treasury of American Horror Stories. "51 Spine-Chilling Tales from Every State in the Union plus Washington, D.C." Arranged alphabetically by state. Just finished Alabama ("An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge," by Ambrose Bierce) and Alaska ("Lost Face," by Jack London). Incredible stories, and that's just the beginning. Looks like maybe half of these will be older public domain stories, and half will be newer (Richard Matheson, Robert Bloch, Stephen King and the like). Got a Matheson story coming up, "Being," set in Arizona. This is going to be a hell of a book.
