Among fantasy gamers of my generation, Conan the Barbarian stands as one of the best fantasy movies ever produced, along with Dragonslayer, Legend, Fritz Lang's Sigfried, and a few others. But even John Milius and Dino DeLurentis's masterful screen adaptation of Robert Howard's tales of Conan pales in comparison to the original stories.
Now, Project Gutenburg has made available to the public one of the most gripping adventures Conan faced, Red Nails. Originally published in 1936's Wierd Tales magazine.
Enjoy this thrilling tale of adventure here:

While Dino DeLurentis deserves some credit for Conan the Barbarian making it to the big screen, I think the bulk of the credit for the quality goes to director John Milius. For some details, see:
