Always Comes Evening is a collection of poems by Robert E. Howard. It was released in 1957 and was the author's second book to be published by Arkham House. It was released in an edition of 636 copies. The publication was subsidized by Howard's literary executor, Glenn Lord who compiled the poems. The volume exists in two states. 536 copies had the title and Howard's name running from bottom to top of the spine, as done in Europe. When the error was discovered during the printing process, the last 100 copies were made American-style with the title and Howard's name running from top to bottom.
