Previously conceptualized as Limned Beneath the Nighted Sky

Howard used numerous terms—some would say overused them—in his writing that were already obscure or outdated in his day and strike the postmodern reader as odd, with the effect ranging from exciting to disquieting. Throughout Howard’s fiction, his use of anachronistic terms is significant enough—both in terms of the color and depth they lend to his prose and verse and as an example of how far we have fallen as literary creatures—that I have determined that this attempt to review all of his work will be well-served by an ongoing lexicon.

Entries will be added as they occur to the reviewer and are stumbled upon in his readings.
