We read and react to Robert E. Howard’s “Black Colossus." Grave-robbing and treasure hunting goes wrong and unleashes an ancient evil to sweep across the nations. We get to see Conan as a military commander when he is chosen by prophecy to assume a position of leadership in one nation's military defense against the hordes that have been assembled from the south.

We follow Conan from a run-in with “civilized” law to his escape to the sea. From there it's on to piracy, pillaging, passion, and exploration of haunting ancient ruins.

We also get some insights into Conan’s bleak theology, the visions of the black lotus, and a show down with Lovecraftian horrors.

Today we cover Robert E. Howard’s “The Scarlet Citadel” and look once again at Conan as King which goes well with our previous episode on the "Phoenix in the Sword."

This story hits our classic Conan tropes: betrayal, unsettling sorcerers, daring escapes, and last minute rescues.

Overall a rollicking good time!

We dive into a pair of classic Conan heist tales. Join us as we follow a young Conan as he multi-classes as a rogue in the classic stories "The God in the Bowl" and "The Tower of the Elephant."

We have the usual Conan tropes of murder, monsters, and unsettling sorcery that reminds us of Howard's pen-pal Lovecraft.

We leave sci-fi behind and jump into sword and orcery with Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian.

We talk pulp context, the Hyborian Age’s “historical shorthand,” and why Conan on the page feels smarter, stranger, and more human than the pop culture version we were more familiar with.
