I would have loved to have had these when I was in middle school/high school. The language is much richer than what is given to students today.

Same story for me, I was about 8 or 9 tho. Conan the fearless was the book I think.

Amazing. Howard is right up there with Tolkien. Totally different styles, but equally compelling. Thank you for taking the time to do these stories justice.

I remember buying the entire Ace Books Conan series from a fellow student when I was in middle school. He handed me a paper grocery bag filled with them before class at my school locker. That bag of books filled my imagination for years.

I read most of the original conan stories, and I loved his prose and world building. I am glad sword and sorcery is making a comeback somewhat. I have almost finished a sword and sorcery type tale inspired by Robert E Howard's creation and Lee Child's Jack Reacher. I hope to submit it to Savage Realms Monthly.

You have done an enormously good job of breathing life into the stories of the greatest fantasy adventure hero of all time! Even the illustrations of the scenes surrounding the story is fantastically done. And the direct quotation from the original story-THANKS!!

I had all but given up hope that anyone would ever produce a Conan audio production worthy of the master writer and his brawling, carousing barbarian. Your work is stunning. The work is read with the understanding and masculine prowess of a man that grasps the fury and wonder of hell raising adventure. I salute you, sir. This is a dream come true, as "Shadows In Zamboula" is my absolute favorite of Howard's Conan shorts. My mouth now waters as I dream of your potential execution of my favorite Howard novella's, "The People of the Black Circle, "Red Nails", and "Beyond the Black River". Again, thank you for your talent and your perspective on great literature.

So, is Cimmerian pronounced as Simmerian or Kimmerian?

@audiobooky 7 күн бұрын

There is debate, the etymology vs. what people would expect it to be... We've made it somewhat interchangeable throughout our productions.

@AtlasRathbane4346 2 күн бұрын

Conan fans usually pronounce it as simmerian

@glenncox9128 2 күн бұрын

@@AtlasRathbane4346 That’s how I’ve always pronounced it. They’re using an AI that has difficulty reading.

You mispronounce "Cimmerian"

@audiobooky Ай бұрын

There is debate about that... I provided a reference in a previous comment backing this version but it may come down to personal preference at this point.

@wmckinley7619 7 күн бұрын

"Conan in the Land of Dixie", would be a more appropriate title for this story. Wow...... couldn't stand to listen to the full story.

I love reading, and listeng to these. I have a huge collection of old pulp novels...but I do cringe at the borderline racism in these. yes, it reflects feelings on race at the time, and Howard was never overtly racist, but its worth noteing.

I still have a few Conan comics and novels left but this story didn’t sound too PC to me in fact it was a bit too derogatory and demeaning and I’ve read a few Conan comics and loved them but this was very unsettling as a black person to listen to which says more about the script artist than it does anything else.

It's important to know that all of our productions stay true to the author's original text; we make no changes or omissions to their writing.

@razz5558 2 ай бұрын

The fiery, Conan stories were written by a powerful, hell raising writer that produced these stories in a brawling, 1920s oil town. They are deliciously Barbaric tales to entertain and ignite the fires in the hearts of true men. No doubt they will, as they always have, distress the delicate sensibilities of "civilized", modern, mama's boys with tepid water rather than hot blood flowing through their milksop's veins.

Racism is natural. In this case it is nothing besides a fictional act of observation. You would have folks to be blind and not to notice nor to observe. Besides that the word is ambiguous being used for a multiplicity of sundry phenomena.

@hamanu666 23 күн бұрын

Why is calling someone brown racist? Get the f#ck over it, it was the 1920s segregation was the law and would not get over turned until the nearly forty years later .

@Sylentmana 19 күн бұрын

There are people these days who refer to them selves and others as black and brown “bodies.” At least Howard recognized people of other races/ethnicities as men and women so who is really racist?

@SkeeterHowitzer 19 күн бұрын

The word "racist" has such vague definition as to mean many things. Is it "to hate irrationally"? Or is it "to observe characteristics"? Liars and deceivers will shift from one definition to another in order to deceive or make a false impression on you. @@Sylentmana
