Avon Fantasy Reader No. 14 — R.E. Howard's Temptress of the Tower of Torture
Illustrating Robert E. Howard's sword-and-sorcery tale 'Temptress of the Tower of Torture and Sin,' this lurid cover depicts a dark-haired exotic dancer adorned in jewels and skimpy silken garb, dangling pearl beads with a come-hither gaze while a muscular, bare-chested warrior is bound with rope to a stone pillar behind her. Shadowy robed figures lurk in the torchlit background. Classic Howard — captive hero, scheming villainess, barbaric dungeon atmosphere — rendered in vivid, commercially charged pulp oil technique.
She's all pearls and peril — and he's not going anywhere. Howard's fever-dream of sin and sorcery never looked more shameless.
