Kull the Conqueror, The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune, by Robert E. Howard [English audio book]

[@jerrycornelius6335]

These more obscure stories are the way to go.

[@spaghettitime3263]

The opening lines really remind of King Osric in the Conan movie. The more Kull I read the more I realize how much Kull is really in that movie

[@TheCybrarian]

yeah, oddly enough the villain for the conan movie, thulsa doom, is a Kull villain. but in the kull movie with kevin sorbo it has a conan villain, all weird.

[@KyeEnzoden]

@@TheCybrarian think they did that on purpose? It is a shared universe, though thousands of years apart.

[@TheCybrarian]

@@KyeEnzoden not sure, kull is just a conan precursor, but maybe the looked to thulsa doom as a REH sole villan (no lovecraft influences etc)

Awesome that you did this one. I re-read this one recently, and was thinking of doing my first ever reading to post on KZbin. There isn't a good audio reading of this. Well, there is now! Also, I might re-write this to include characters from a specific intellectual property. Maybe that will be my first reading. Thanks again for this one!

[@TheCybrarian]

well there was a lot of Howards work unpublished til it was arranged and released after his death, different people arragnements or additions to work are interesting modern examples of how a story would grow through retelling or word of mouth in olde times :)

"Disclaimer - may contain violence, references to sex, and language that may offend" I should hope so that's why we are here.

thank you for this great reading, you truly do justice to Howard's work!

[@TheCybrarian]

much appreciated :)

[@tobypack6328]

Simply Fantastic 👏🤓

[@evanvalenta1898]

I've been binge watching your content and I've enjoyed every minute! Keep up the good work.

[@TheCybrarian]

Glad you enjoy it! always more coming.

[@purplesmurf1327]

Outstanding ☮️👍

[@TheCybrarian]

Thank you kindly

[@robwalker4452]

Great writing, great narration.

[@TheCybrarian]

Thank you. Well, we can't take credit for the writing ;)

[@MrJoebell123]

Great job on this one. My favorite Kull story. Thanks.

[@ravensthatflywiththenightm7319]

The way REH opens this tale with a description of depression though...now that rings a somber bell. ⚔

[@TheCybrarian]

Yeah, and all the introspection through the mirrors, too.

[@judestevenson4943]

Another great reading👍🏻nice to hear some of the lesser known REH stories

[@judestevenson4943]

I commented on your last excellent kull video, suggesting another REH story "passing of the grey god" have a book with this story in but struggling to find it! But would be an excellent story for your style 👍🏻

[@TheCybrarian]

Hmmm, we'll look into 'grey god passes'/'twlight of grey god' need to see if we have that or can get it. (our next RHE story is he lesser known 'The Lost Tribe')

[@judestevenson4943]

The lost tribe? Is that a bran mak morn story?

[@TheCybrarian]

@@judestevenson4943 @Jude Stevenson omg, so sorry, it's called 'The Lost Race' (it's bad enough some of his stories have multiple titles without me getting them wrong), it's a short in Bran Mak Morn setting/age

[@judestevenson4943]

@@TheCybrarian thought it was! I've been looking through my REH books & lost race was the the nearest i could find😁 i think "the grey god passes" is also known as "spears over clontarf" but i may be wrong 👍🏻

[@grahamturner1290]

There was a sequel to this yarn in Marvel's original Conan the Barbarian comic series. Great reading, thanks!

[@ConspiratorialReport]

Amazing!

[@TheCybrarian]

Keep an eye out as we're remastering this tale very soon.

[@ConspiratorialReport]

@@TheCybrarian I will. Robert E. Howard's works always surprises me. I haven't found a writer in the same league of his.

[@ge0metr1xx]

wow this was awesome... Thank you for reading this

[@MrJoebell123]

Great job on these. Any chance of doing "Hour of the Dragon"? Long read, but I think we'd all really appreciate it.

[@TheCybrarian]

Thank you. We shall see what the future brings 😊

[@alexgreychuck7605]

Fatastic rendition of my favorite Kull story.

[@LostSoulzzz]

I to have gazed in such mirror's and questioned reality.

[@ghostwarrior3878]

Thank u for reading this one, do you think youll read Delcardes Cat or by this Ax i rule at some point.

[@TheCybrarian]

Yes, we shall be back with more Kull at some point, but we are currently working on our next conan story 'the god in the bowl'

[@ghostwarrior3878]

@@TheCybrarian i read that story, its interesting. My favorite conan stories have so far been the Phoenix on the sword, the Tower of the elephant Queen of the black Coast Vale of lost women and red nails, im currently working on red nails and i enjoy it immensely. I still have a long way before I get through the rest of the Conan stories though

[@jeremykern7806]

Omg some times I wonder if reh tripped with the shaman and the toad.

[@TheCybrarian]

not sure how available that would be in 1930s rural Texas, but he was very introspective and did like his beer

[@angel13lazcano]

Hell ya
