The People of the Black Circle

Synopsis

The People of the Black Circle featuring Robert E. Howard's fictitious hero Conan which is published in the Weird Tales Magazine. Excerpts below.

The king of Vendhya was dying. Through the hot, stifling night the temple gongs boomed and the conchs roared. Their clamor was a faint echo in the gold-domed chamber where Bunda Chand struggled on the velvet-cushioned dais. Beads of sweat glistened on his dark skin; his fingers twisted the gold-worked fabric beneath him. He was young; no spear had touched him, no poison lurked in his wine.
