To save nagivating, here's the direct link: http://www.conan.com./bibliography.shtml. But - as you may see - it's not up to date. It still says, "The Coming of Conan the Cimmerian (Conan of Cimmeria, Book 1) ... November 2005 (hardcover, forthcoming)" and "The Conquering Sword of Conan (Conan...

But several of REH's Conan tales featured unique (seemingly; hopefully!) monsters... who's to say that if REH had told more tales we wouldn't have seen more monsters! (Dire or otherwise.) Ciao, Ant

There was indeed! Here: Where's Hyboria's Bestiary?. Ciao, Ant
