Solomon Kane: Skulls in the Stars

This week's Tale introduces us to another of Robert E. Howard's foundational epic fantasy characters, Solomon Kane.  This is still a world of sword and sorcery but, arguably, a world closer to our own.  As you'd expect from the creator of Conan, Kane is brooding, lone, and violent, but he has, perhaps, more of a mission in mind than Howard's later hero.  But is his need to rid the world of monsters all that drives him?
