The Dark Man - The Dark Man Omnibus: Volume 1
Author: Robert E Howard
Introduction: August Derleth
 
Six macabre journeys into the weird and the fantastic
 
The strange paralysis that held Griswell was broken. Branner was coming back. He was not running. A groping hand, moving along the balustrade, came into the bar of moonlight; then another, and a ghastly thrill went through Griswell as he saw that the other hand gripped a hatchet - a hatchet which dripped blackly. Then he saw Branner's face, and a shriek burst from Griswell's lips. Branner's face was bloodless, corpse-like; gouts of blood dripped darkly down it; his eyes were glassy and wet, and blood oozed from the great gash which cleft the crown of his head!
