Red Nails (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9789359323459)

"Red Nails" is a classic sword and sorcery novella written via Robert E. Howard, the prolific American writer exceptional recognised for creating the long-lasting character Conan the Barbarian. "Red Nails" is one in all Howard's remaining and most celebrated works in the Conan series. The tale is set in the legendary land of Xuchotl, wherein the ultimate surviving population of warring cities, Xuchotl and Commoria, find themselves dwelling in a single fort called the "Red Nails." Conan, the Cimmerian warrior, encounters Valeria, a fierce pirate, and collectively, they come to be embroiled within the lethal politics and conflicts of this remoted community. Within the partitions of Red Nails, the characters face treacherous sorcery, savage beasts, and the ever-present chance of betrayal as they navigate a society steeped in bloodlust and intrigue. Howard's vivid descriptions and skillful global-building carry this dangerous and darkly atmospheric placing to existence. "Red Nails" is extremely good for its exploration of subject matters which includes barbarism, civilization's decline, and the destructive nature of unrelenting battle. It also showcases Howard's signature writing style, characterized by means of motion-packed sequences, shiny characters, and a penchant for exploring the primal aspects of humanity.
