In this season of Conan And Friends we feature all the Conan stories written in Robert E. Howard's lifetime. This week we present the full length tale "The Pool of the Black One," published in Weird Tales magazine in 1933.

Conan the Barbarian is a legendary fictional character known for his unparalleled strength, indomitable spirit, and savage warrior skills. Created by writer Robert E. Howard, Conan roams the ancient and treacherous Hyborian Age, a fictional prehistoric era. With his rippling muscles, wild mane of hair, and fierce eyes, Conan embodies the archetype of the muscle-bound warrior. Born in the harsh Cimmerian lands, he endures a life of constant struggle, battling his way through a myriad of dangerous quests, fierce battles, and encounters with sorcery. Conan's tales are marked by his unwavering determination, cunning intellect, and primal instincts, making him an iconic symbol of heroism in the history of sword and sorcery.

We'll be presenting the works of Conan in the reading order recommended by scholars.
