Welcome to Litsy!

For days when you dream of calling your enemies “fatherless curs” just before enjoying some aggressive negotiations with your Crom-given broadsword…there is Conan. The original and best still holds up with imaginative short stories of adventure in a long forgotten time. You don‘t have to know or care about any of the modest world-building…each clever, funny, exciting tale catches up with Conan right before the mayhem begins. Crom protect you!

@TheNeverendingTBR At the risk of being a bore (last Conan post, I promise!), these are the editions I grew up with. They're Howard's stories, edited by de Camp, filled out with adaptations of other Howard stories, and with pastiches written by de Camp and Carter, with other authors drafted in towards the end. Anathema to Howard purists, but I'm still fond of them 😊
