Robert E. Howard, de quien ya hemos dicho tantas cosas que resulta difícil no repetirse, trató todos los géneros literarios relacionados con la fantasía, la aventura o... la ciencia ficción. Muy pocas en cantidad con respecto al resto de su obra, las historias de ciencia ficción de Howard son como joyas, quizá por ser esa mínima parte de su producción. Lo mismo podemos decir de sus novelas, que se pueden contar con los dedos de una mano. Almuric es una de esas pocas novelas y además es una novela de ciencia ficción. La fantasía científica al estilo Howard ahonda en los temas que más le atraían.
