Conan and the Songs of the Dead

Traveling the desert reaches, Conan the Cimmerian finds an old acquaintance, Alvazar, up to his neck in trouble… and sand. Hired to steal a jewel incrusted phallic known as the Demon’s Root from a temple of Set, poor Alvazar was captured and condemned to die in the desert. Freeing his friend, they set out to gain their payment when Conan is confronted by the Djinn of the Stones, slave to the sorcerer who hired Alvazar. One obstacle conquered, and more popping up along the way seems to be the subplot of the tale.

Sex, greed, and lots of blood fill this Conan story, all tastefully done by Joe Lansdale and Timothy Truman. Well, “tasteful” if you’re a sword swinging barbarian…
