You honor REH - JRR Tolkien, Robert E Howard and Guy Sajer - after 50 yrs seems like yesterday. Thank you.

First audio version of this story, as far as I know! You're making history! 👏👏👏

The speech about life and death put in the mouth of Zengi would later be recycled as a line of Conan’s in Queen of the Black Coast! That really made me prick my ears up when it came up.

Man we need "country of the knife" now. You're doing great service here to an underserved cultural niche, often ignored or censored.

The first ten minutes had me doing spontaneous push-ups.

My great grandfather was the town blacksmith in Cross Plains as Robert E Howard's father was the town doctor. My great-uncle Truman said Robert was bashful in the street.

[@TheEldritchArchives]

Thanks for sharing! That's amazing to have known people who had met Robert! I've heard he was quite shy at times, but also sometimes very eccentric and outspoken too. He was certainly a unique person!

[@OQuinlan-nz1md]

That's awesome...would love to hear more..was he the outcast he considered himself to be?

[@michaelmcgowen1504]

@@OQuinlan-nz1md my great uncle Truman said he was bashful in public. The stories were great and my family is from a hereditary line of black smith's from Perth Scotland. My great grandfather was 6ft 6inches and weighed 300 lbs in 1900. The tales that Robert wrote with the geography and the people were fantastic.

It may be the Coldsmoke Scotch Ale I've been drinking, but methinks yours is a most excellent tale of family, of ancestors larger than life. My own interest in smithcraft stems from boyhood reading of Conan, of the Volsunga Saga, of Steel and Forging, of Sword, of Steel. It has led me down a long road these 57 years, made me a modern Man cut from the cloth of more ancient days. It stirs the blood, the spirit, to hear of your giant blacksmith forefather as I listen to the reading. Hail our ancestors, and may we be men (and women!) as hard as they at need!

I was missing some Howard story. Good one, Connor!

Have you, perchance, ever read Louis L'amour's The Walking Drum? I like to think it's a historical novel REH would've enjoyed. It's a medieval tale, rather than the Western tsles Mr L'Amour is most known for. A very good tale.
