About this listen

Welcome to the world of Conan, where danger lurks in every shadow and adventure calls from the farthest reaches of the unknown. In The Pool of the Black One, Robert E. Howard takes us on a thrilling journey across the high seas and into a realm of cosmic horror. Conan, a rogue pirate, finds himself aboard the Wastrel, a ship commanded by the cruel Zaporavo. But Conan's ambitions soon led him to challenge the captain, claiming his place as the leader of the crew. Yet, the real danger lies ahead, on a mysterious island where black giants guard a jade-green pool of unspeakable evil.

As Conan explores the island, he uncovers horrors beyond imagination—men transformed into petrified figures, a monstrous race of towering black beings, and a pool that defies the laws of nature. With his unmatched strength and cunning, Conan battles these otherworldly foes, rescues the captive Sancha, and leads his crew to safety.

But Conan is no ordinary hero. He's a man who laughs in the face of death, embraces life with unrelenting vigor, and sails into the unknown with a thirst for plunder and glory. Howard's tale is a masterful blend of action, horror, and adventure, reminding us that in Conan's world, survival is earned through sheer will and the swing of a sword.

So, buckle up, listeners, and prepare for a tale of blood, steel, and the indomitable spirit of the barbarian. This is The Pool of the Black One—a story that will leave you breathless and craving more.
