Written in epistolary form, the novel tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant and ambitious scientist who, driven by Enlightenment-era ideas of progress and science, creates a living being from dead body parts. However, upon seeing the creature come to life, Frankenstein is horrified and abandons it. The creature, shunned by society due to its appearance, seeks revenge against its creator, leading to a series of tragic events. The novel explores themes of guilt, loss, and the emotional and moral consequences of scientific hubris, blending elements of Gothic and Romantic literature.

This collection includes various stories written by Robert E. Howard that feature Conan the Barbarian, a legendary sword and sorcery hero. The stories are set in the Hyborian Age, a fictional period after the fall of Atlantis, and follow Conan's adventures as a barbarian, mercenary, pirate, and king. The tales are filled with elements of fantasy, including battles with monsters, sorcerers, and other adversaries. After Howard's death, the stories were compiled and edited by L. Sprague de Camp, who also created additional Conan stories based on Howard's fragments and outlines.
