Thank you. Excellent

[@mariovillarreal8647]

Thank you Robert E Howard for bringing sexy back. Chivalry and gallantry to a world sorely lacking these wonderful attributes! And thank you Eldritch Archives / AudioBooks for a great presentation professionally produced and narrated! Mario SIrSirReal Villarreal. The Shadow of the Vulture in particular for its incorporation of historical non fiction into a resplendent story. Suleiman a real life titan of warriors.

Thanks! :)

[@TheRealShadowX]

Good reading. Seems like there's just a few mess ups - but you've done much better than I would have done. It's not easy to read aloud consistently without error. Hats off.

[@WarDogMadness]

dam fine story and reading. the winged hassars didn't make it this time around but this should be made into a film scene by scene..

[@TheEldritchArchives]

Thank you! I have a hunch that Mikhal Oglu's winged armor is inspired by the winged hussars 🤔 it's too bad REH never wrote a story about the winged hussars, no doubt it would have been amazing!

Shadow of the Vulture was adapted into a Conan the Barbarian story by Marvel Comics back in the 1970's.

[@TheEldritchArchives]

I've actually read this comic. Overall a faithful adaption although you can definitely tell the lines that REH wrote immediately and the parts someone else added in hahaha I just recorded an episode of the SFFaudio podcast where we discuss this story and all its adaptions. I think we cover the comic there, if youre interested :) podcast wont be released for a while though.

I appreciate your enthusiasm and the effort that you put in to performing, recording, producing and posting. It's great you are investing so much of your time in sharing these stories. My only nit is that in many of the stories I have listened to your pronunciation can be jarring. Not only unusual words and phrases like "sublime portay" or "ark duke" (which are both very wrong), but even pronouncing words like "bowed" wrong in some contexts (as in "she boughed low", without the hard w), in other stories, just to mention a few examples. I think you are doing an overall great job, and I want to encourage you to do even better since It happens frequently enough in all the stories I have listened to so far to make me think it worthwhile mentioning. I think you obviously respect and admire Howard's work. I hope you will take my constructive criticism in that spirit, as it is 100% meant that way.

[@mariovillarreal8647]

It actually adds to the realism as in real life not everyone pronounces words the same! Thank you for sharing. Mario SIrSirReal Villarreal.

Haven't played it yet but in my opinion this is Robert E Howard's best story ever, bar none, period. It's everything good historical fiction ought to be. The characters are as fully fleshed out and memorable as any he ever created in any genre. Marvel turned it into a Conan story but Gottfried is more interesting than Conan; he's more human and quirky. Every word Howard ever wrote about Red Sonya is right here in this amazing tale. And forget that stupid chain mail bikini, this Sonya is real and she's geared up as a soldier not a beauty pageant contestant.

[@melvinsantos9756]

I’m new this can anyone tell me what stories of red Sonja where written by Robert e Howard . I really like Conan and I would like to know more about red Sonja

[@0326jlc]

This is the only Howard Story that Sonja appears In. I wish he had written more about her, and the Ottoman-Holy Roman Empire wars.

Europeans didn’t have marching bands until Poland invented the accordion in 1512. Believe it or not. : )

By Allah ! I’ll have another! Simply Fantastic 👏🤓

[@jerrymccoy1947]

Dude, honestly? Your delivery is a little irritating; even though you work hard at proper diction, the flow isnt smooth enough to keep me interested. Son, if you want to know how uts done, listen to the Bernard Cornwell audiotapes.

[@patrickmullane30]

😂dude? can you even read ? Or just play video games?😂

[@patrickmullane30]

Bernard Cornwell is excellent though. But if you wish to complain- try it yourself and we will judge.

[@jerrymccoy1947]

Reading, writing and arithmetic was how my generation was schooled. Video games are for you youngsters. 😊 Try narrating a story myself? I don't have that skill, and I'm not arrogant enough to try it. We all need to know our limitations and stay out of lanes we're not qualified for, in my opinion. Just saying. 😊.​@@patrickmullane30

​@@patrickmullane30Reading, Writing and Arithmetic was how my generation was schooled. Video games? That's for you kids. 😊 Myself, i would never try my hand at narrating a story. Im not trained in oratory, and im not arrogant enough to think that i have the skills to bring a REH story to life. The audience deserves better than to have me hacking it up. I believe we should stay in the lanes that we are qualified to be in. Don't you? 😊
