Got about halfway through Howard’s Vale of Lost Women before having to put it aside because of the racism. Again, the author of the intro failed to read the stories contained in the anthology. The premise of this one is a white woman is the prisoner of black men, so Conan, purely due to his sense of racial unity, frees the white woman. After the 5th or 6th paragraph of the two white characters talking about how no matter what white people should stick together I was done. I’ll give a lot of leeway to early 20th century pulp writers, but damn. There are less racist H. P. Lovecraft stories.
