Salute to The Cimmerian

Last week, the long standing Robert E. Howard blog, The Cimmerian, shuttered its digital gateway to new content. This effective closure is a sad one, but the good news is that their many talented bloggers will probably continue writing elsewhere. Their extensive archive on Robert E. Howard, heroic fantasy, and loads of subjects connected to weird fiction will also remain functional. All good things come to an end, as an old cliche so bitterly reminds us, and it will not be easy filling the gulf left by The Cimmerian's departure. But now is a time to celebrate the many successes this blog has had over the years. Particularly their coverage of Howard, who was a skilled writer as well as a friend and correspondent with H.P. Lovecraft.

From Grim Reviews to The Cimmerian: a thousand cannon salute!
