Howard. They are much stronger in mood and narration than those of Burroughs and allow a wider range of illustrative interpretations. As St. John is remembered for Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan, I would like to be remembered for REH and Conan. I feel a certain sense of loss that Howard isn’t alive to appreciate what I’ve done with Conan.’ – Frank Frazetta

Becoming enmeshed in the plans of a treacherous nobleman and a dark priest, Conan finds himself making some strange allies in order to free himself from the labyrinthine, booby-trapped halls in the Red Priest’s stronghold. Stalked by a mysterious, hulking horror that’s grown out of control, Conan and the nobleman make a wary alliance with the Red Priest himself!
