D&D General No One Reads Conan Now -- So What Are They Reading?

[MuhVerisimilitude]

Made some more progress.

• "The Circle Curse" (1970, first publication)

A bit of a frame story to establish that they'll go back to Lankhmar. Not that interesting.

• "The Jewels in the Forest" (novelette 1939 Unknown, as "Two Sought Adventure")

Now this was good. Sword fighting, adventure and looting.

• "Thieves' House" (novelette 1943 Unknown)

Lots of humour in this one, and several rather optimistic attempts at disguises.

• "The Bleak Shore" (1940 Unknown)

The tone in this one was unexpected, with the way a large part is told by another narrator (a slave on their ship).

• "The Howling Tower" (1941 Unknown)

Creepy. I like it.

• "The Sunken Land" (1942 Unknown)

Is this the origin of the Cloaker monster? As a story it's pretty good. Strong horror tones. If the main characters weren't who they are, I would've expected them to die at the end. The opening is a bit weak.

I will keep on reading. About 30% of the book remaining.
