Solomon Kane

[AcesandEights]

As some of you may be aware, Solomon Kane (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon_Kane) is another creation of that famed pulp writer and creator of Conan, Robert E. Howard. Referred to by Howard as being "a strange blending of Puritan and Cavalier, with a touch of the ancient philosopher, and more than a touch of the pagan."

Anyway, I just thought I'd share this nice vid I came across a month or so back, which is based on, and plays over, the Solomon Kane poem "The Return of Sir Richard Grenville." (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF3boH7047E)

I heartily recommend the short stories for anyone who likes well written pulp fiction of an early bent.

I'm rather partial to his Breckinridge Elkins and Dennis Dorgan type characters. Soloman Kane is certainly a deeper character than the dim-witted by kind-hearted humorous types. It's a pity that there aren't more Kane stories for we fans.
