What this book is about
Wings in the Night is considered Howard's darkest Solomon Kane story — the harpies are grotesque and the violence is stark. Solomon Kane is a deadly Puritan swordsman who pursues evil across the world. The depictions of African settings reflect period pulp fiction conventions (with their associated problems). Appropriate for older teens and adults who enjoy classic horror adventure.
