    It's amazing just how prolific Robert E Howard was in his short life. Fantastic idea after fantastic idea, for me he's the Mozart of Pulp.

    This is so amazing ,, I have never been to a YT channel that tells whole stories from start to finish .Especially with such wonderful narration .. I heard a shorter story a day or two ago and complimented Mr Gordon on his fantastic reading , but I didn't know he did longer whole tales like this until I went to the homepage . I saw this and clicked it on . My evenings will never be the same after this . I have found my place . I live alone at 72 and don't get out much any longer . I wish I had the words to tell you how happy I am right now , but I don't . All I can come up with is Thank You Sir , Thank You Sir and Thank You Sir Sincerely , Jeff Warren

      He always told one hell of a story. Talk about a good "fireside chat"! Whenever I read a R.E.H. story I feel like I am reading or hearing it told by a fireplace or campfire while enjoying a good scotch or rye whiskey.

    After falling in love with his Conan stories last year (and feeling ashamed about it, like I'm cheating on Tolkien with just how much I loved 'em), I like seeing anything by Robert E Howard show up. It blows my mind that it took so long for me to become familiar with his work (and not think of him as just writing cheesy pulp fiction for kids).
    What I mean to say is: thank you, again.

    • @TransRoofKorean
      @TransRoofKorean 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      What blew my mind most about Conan is how I've loved Tolkien & RPG's my whole life, heard so many times how D&D and the like wouldn't exist without Tolkien (yeah, probably), but then finally reading those stories and realizing I'm reading something *_before_* Tolkien that feels vastly more like D&D than any other stories I've encountered, more than any _Forgotten Realms_ books, etc.

    What a fine story and narration. Damn, this is great. We have gunslingers, Hatfields & McCoys (a la Texas), legends, ancient long-lost races, ruins, and esoteric lore. Who could ask for anything more?
    This story goes alongside "The Fire of Asshurbanipal" on the reading shelf. Goodness they have the same feel (although set in different parrts of the world). I also like how R.E.H. uses the same family names in his tales.
    Well done, Ian, for recording this. What a shame it laid around unpublished for so many years after R.E.H.'s untimely death.
    I shake my head in shame whenever people tell me they have never heard of this author.

    I'm not a superstitious person, but if I murdered somebody with a bunch of my friends, I would probably not bury the body in a cave that was the subject of a legend about it reanimating the corpses that you place inside of it. That's just me. I'm a cautious person.
