I for the pulp assignment I read the blood crown of Conan. A story that only shows up in the my mind in the images of Frank frazetta's art but more animated, sort of as if fire and ice was made today. his style of Writing is very big on creating images of grand theater through the minds eye. It is tales of Barbarism in a way that only Robert E howard can bring. He creates his own mythology and lands that sounds similar to our own which I find rather amusing, I do enjoy it though. The beginning is a good example of this where the sister is made to kill her own dying brother so that the Iranistanians cant trap his soul. Thats some heavy shit to begin a story with, I mean the woman had to kill her own in order to save her own. I cant wait to finish this novel as well as the other conans over the summer. It always enjoyable to have a few epics on hand on a summer afternoon. Although I feel this summer I shall also get some Lovecraft to read as well.
