Howard is a high-fantasy short story that exemplifies the weird fiction genre, with strong philosophical undertones, written in the late 1920s. The narrative follows Kull, a weary king of Valusia, who seeks out the enigmatic wizard Tuzun Thune in his quest for deeper understanding of reality and existence. The story explores themes of perception, existence, and the nature of reality through the magical mirrors that reflect not only the physical appearance but the essence of life itself. In the story, Kull feels disillusioned and disconnected from the world around him, prompting him to seek out Tuzun Thune, who resides in the mystical House of a Thousand Mirrors. As he gazes into these mirrors, Kull becomes entranced by the reflections that lead him to doubt his own reality and existence. The narrative builds as Kull grapples with his identity, questioning which is the true world—the one he inhabits or the other realm presented by the mirrors. Ultimately, a rescue from his friend, Brule, prevents him from being consumed by the wizard's dark sorcery, leaving Kull to ponder the nature of reality, the essence of existence, and whether hidden worlds await beyond the known. The story concludes with Kull still musing over the powerful secrets he glimpsed, emphasizing the disquieting notion of worlds beyond perception.
