Conan’s travels have brought him to the far reaches of the unknown, from his birthplace in Cimmeria to the kingdom of Aquilonia and all in between.

Howard’s legendary barbarian stars in an all-new ages-spanning saga as the destiny of Conan — and King Conan — are forever changed!

Produced by: KBOO
Program: Gremlin Time
Air date: Mon, 03/18/2019 - 11:00pm to Tue, 03/19/2019 - 12:00am

Considered to be the first "weird western" short story, 'The Horror From The Mound" is about a former cowpuncher, Steve Brill, who regrets having left the cowboy life to become a farmer in West Texas. He is also curious to see if there might be spanish treasure buried in a nearby hullock, which his mexican neighbors avoid walking past. As if it were haunted. A classic story from the pulp era, by Robert E. Howard which combines elements of regional legends and the horror story.
