    Good one.. in the dystopian world of AI voiced stories, this was refreshing. The background music was a nice touch

    I wish REH had written more about this pair, I would’ve loved to hear more of their stories…..

      yeah, we really enjoyed them, like a great odd couple buddy-cop thing, but during wartime in the middle-east with cosmic horror, haha
      would have been a great series

    Cybrarian- as always excellent voice acting and great treatment of the material. This is probably my favorite short story of any genre. Its a perfect action-adventure with a touch of cosmic horror with ancient biblical references to add just a hint of a possibility that it’s true.

    This is my first time hearing this story. A fun hot blooded Howard adventure with a waft of Lovecraftian ancient gods. Sorta Indiana Clarney. As always thank you for your entertaining readings.⚔

    Absolutely amazing narration as always! And I loved the characters in this one, the only criticism I have is that the fake accents can sometimes be a bit distracting in my opinion

    I thought it was called, " The Heart Of Assurbanipal." The important thing is i remembered it well from a paperback called simply, " CUTHULU". The scariest part was when the gem went torwards the wall which had opened partly revealing monsterous eyes looking from the dark. Of how the hero and his partner kept their eyes tightly closed because if they saw what walked from its hiding place, put the gem back in the hand of the moldering corpse on the dais, he would've lost his mind- the mind cannot always handle a denizen of the Cuthulu mythos.

    Question: Do Robert E Howards Cthulhu story's tie-in to the Conan story's are they their own separate cannon? Either way; good October listening!

    • @TheCybrarian
      @TheCybrarian  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Yes, they def tie-in, in several places. Conan even grapples with a shambling monstrosity in 'The Slithering Shadow'

      Conan is canonical to the Cthulhu Mythos. HPL even mentiones Cimmeria by name in "The Shadow out of Time".

      Howard and Lovecraft had quite a bit of discourse. I have done my best to dig up and pour through all of the works of each.
