LibriVox: Shadows In The Moonlight by Robert E. Howard
Though Robert E. Howard had originally titled this Conan adventure “Iron Shadows In The Moon” it was actually first published under the title Shadows In The Moonlight. Current publications, and adaptations, tend to favour Howard’s original title. But either way the novelette, featuring a shipload of pirates, a shapely maiden, and a giant ape, makes for some very good reading.

LibriVox: Jewels Of Gwahlur by Robert E. Howard
“Conan did not hesitate, nor did he even glance toward the chest that held the wealth of an epoch. With a quickness that would have shamed the spring of a hungry jaguar, he swooped, grasped the girl’s arm just as her fingers slipped from the smooth stone, and snatched her up on the span with one explosive heave.”
-from Jewels Of Gwahlur by Robert E. Howard

LibriVox: The Devil In Iron by Robert E. Howard
Considered by some to be the worst Conan story written by Howard, The Devil In Iron isn’t my favourite either.
In it the “gay clad” barbarian visits an island fortress, wrestles a giant green snake, fights an unstabable demon, and saves a sleepy-headed and scantily dressed beauty.
The plot, which is rather intricate, doesn’t do much for me – but several scenes have that Howard writing magic I love.
