A review by cdipierro
The Conquering Sword of Conan by Robert E. Howard

Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.

Howard's obsession with skin color and disgusting racism (bad even for the time in which it was written) eventually becomes too much. My breaking point was in "Shadows in Zamboula" a place whose degeneracy was supposedly apparent because it was populated by mixed-race people. 

Every story is another ivory-skinned white woman in peril of being ravaged by another brutish, monstrously-strong person of color. Pass.
