Worms of the Earth

by Robert E. Howard
read by Robertson Dean

[@azmountaineer4630]

Howard to me, is the best ever. He writes in a way, that spills out in my mind. So easy to visualize what he writes. He is imagination on steriods.Thank you Mr Warlock

[@EmmettF.W.]

It’s as I’ve always told people. If Tolkien is the father of fantasy. Than Howard is the Grandfather. 🗡🍻🐉

[@jasonsantos3037]

Robert E Howard is the man who gave us sword and sorcery

[@kevineastwood5175]

Robertson Dean lends so much to this already great story! I only wish Howard had written more Bran Mac Morn tales.

The old savage sword of conan mag, printed this story back in the late 70s, drawn by Barry Smith and Tim Conrad.

I think it's #16 and 17. I still have them and read them every few years.

[@pacman10182]

the song by the same name from eternal champion is based off this story it's a good combonation

[@timfreckman5227]

One of the best sword and sorcery stories ever. So obsessed with vengeance he literally makes love to evil in order to obtain it. When he heard her talking to the worms he shuddered, like the guy that slept with the fat chick when he was drunk. Amazing, and the narrator was also amazing.

H.p.Lovecraft brought me here and I am not dissappointed

A great and imaginative story which was beautifully read. Thanks for uploading 👍

[@ThatGoblinShow]

Creepy story, well written.

Best chapter of audiobook on the entire infrawebs! The writing obviously but the delivery is awesome! I know this is old but its bloody brilliant ennit?! !! Love this!!

[@Grendelbc]

My favorite REH story. Big Conan fan but I always wished there were more tales of Bran Mak Morn.

[@Anaris10]

Same here.,..and Kull the Conqueror..and Cormac Mac Art..and Solomon Kane..

[@Grendelbc]

@@Anaris10 Solomon Kane was the only REH char I never really warmed to. I did enjoy his other types of stories like his boxing stuff and the hilarious Breckinridge Elkins tales,

[@ronleeper6864]

Howard's written work easily adapts to oral interpretation, a reflection of both his masterful story-telling & the tradition of oral Texas tall-tales that the author grew up listening to. This recording is a wonderful example of REH done right THX for the great post!!

[@tobypack6328]

Simply Fantastic

[@jasonsantos3037]

Yeah I have lots of lovecrafty and bibes from this story The worms of the Earth great story from Howard

[@RichardPhillips1066]

This story has a prose like quality to it ... poetic almost

[@drew3865]

Howard was a really good poet as well as a master of storytelling.

[@jimburke7457]

I think it’s partly due to his heavy use of alliteration. Once you notice it you start to hear it everywhere.

[@ge0metr1xx]

REH was the Prose Poet. The Mirrors of Tuzun Thune earned him that nickname.

[@djgforce11]

Sounds like Kelsey Grammer.

[@alfredoreliford3329]

One of many favorites of mine… RIP-REH!!!💕. ⚔️🙏🏽⚔️

I am so glad I have stubled upin this channel. Thank you. Like.... Interestigly, those folks did not see much difference between worms and snakes.

[@davidk6269]

52:06 “Dagon’s Mir” must be a reference to H.P. Lovecraft’s Dagon. I always enjoy these crossovers between Howard and his friend Lovecraft.

this is amazing literaly the hairs on my arms wher on end

its a pretty good story

[@Susrek]

Thank you!

[@andrewrobertson3894]

Really glad I stumbled across your channel, Nemesis. You have some great content. Also, if I recall correctly, the Nemesis Warlock was a character from the A.B.C Warriors story featured in the old 2000 AD comics I read as kid. Shit that makes me old ;) Slaine the Barbarian, Rogue Trooper and Judge Dredd also ran in those comics.

[@Arkanoid1212]

This is correct. Glad you enjoy it.

[@strayCATchillspot]

Me too. This is epic 😂😎😎😎😎🙌

[@Headshots4Hope]

Its a shame that Howard never wrote more sword & sanity yarns along these lines. The creepy, Mythos-haunted Roman Britain is a compelling setting. The idea of a barbarian king feuding desperately against the Roman Empire in a guerrilla war is a badass setup. There are a couple other Bran Mak Morn stories floating around, but they never come close to Worms of the Earth. Its a totally different mood from Conan, in a good way. Its so niche, i find it hard to find anything to fill that void.

[@joz6683]

Just discovered this channel after my wife sent me a link, this is my 2nd video, have subscribed. Just one question is your name inspired by the 2000ad character of the same name?

[@Anaris10]

I read the Bran Books years ago and am enjoying this except for "Bran" being pronounced "Bron" . I know only a few words in Gaelic, mostly Scots, but it seems to me like it should very much be "Bran" as in "Raisin Bran", am I wrong?.

[@davidk6269]

Wait, do you mean it isn’t Raisin Bron? 😂

[@alfredoreliford3329]

Either, cat…⚔️🙏🏽⚔️

Bran Mak Morn is a little baby, scared of some worms. I could beat him up.
