Howard is a short story that falls within the genre of fantasy adventure, specifically within the sword and sorcery subgenre. Written in the early 20th century, the story showcases Howard's signature blend of action, intrigue, and vibrant characters, all set against a backdrop of a mythical world populated by warriors, dangerous beasts, and dark magic. This tale particularly explores themes of power, survival, and the clash between civilization and barbarism. The narrative unfolds with Olivia, a captive fleeing from her captor, Shah Amurath. In her bid for freedom, she encounters Conan, a fierce Cimmerian warrior who has just avenged his fallen comrades by killing Amurath. Together, they escape on a boat to a seemingly uninhabited island, only to face unexpected dangers, including a hostile crew of pirates and a monstrous gray man-ape. As they navigate through threats both external and internal, Olivia's perception of barbarism shifts as she finds strength and protection in Conan, ultimately forging a bond that transcends their respective backgrounds. The story promises adventure and showcases the intensity of Howard's world, where humanity's primal instincts come to the forefront amidst dark sorcery.
