"Skulls in the Stars" by Robert E. Howard is a novella that falls within the realm of horror and dark fantasy, likely written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the mysterious and sinister happenings in an eerie setting, involving a haunted moor and a vengeful spirit. It captures the themes of bravery against dark forces, as the protagonist confronts supernatural evils. The narrative follows Solomon Kane, a Puritan hero, as he embarks on a journey to Torkertown. Despite warnings from the villagers to avoid the treacherous moor road, Kane is drawn to face the terror that has claimed the lives of many. Upon his arrival, he encounters the remnants of a recent victim and learns that a demonic entity haunts the moors, killing indiscriminately. His investigation leads him to old Ezra, a miser linked to a ghostly avenger—Gideon, his insane cousin, whom he murdered. In the climax, Kane ensures the soul of Gideon is appeased by allowing his spirit to exact revenge on Ezra, intertwining fate, guilt, and the supernatural in a gripping tale of horror.
