Been listening to a lot of these narrated stories lately. The enthusiasm and intensity of this one is exactly what Solomon Kane deserves and needs. Kudos.
@@whatthefox6303 Not Solomon Kane; the reason I picked this one is I believe it's the only audiobook that exists of this unfinished story. But I do have other audiobooks I've made on my channel playlist.
Very well done, I must admit I’ve been reading these stories for as long as I can remember now, and I’m 60 years old. This was easily one of the best audio versions I’ve heard. Once again all I can say is really well done and I’m definitely going to be listening to more of your material and the things you put out there. Great job.
This comment & it's detail means a lot more than you realise! A fantasy fan for 60 years? That's a story you have to express to future fans! Are you a Michael Moorcock fan? Elric is the next release.
Thank you, my friend. Feel free to share anywhere you think will appreciate it. I'm glad it brought you joy and for going the length to comment! All the best.
Yeah the purefoy film was fantastic. I watched it last year. Razorfist pitched a good concept for an SK game, if anywhere to revive it gaming seems the most likely candidate. I wouldn't want the source material tampered with though, if it got the Disney treatment it'd be a massive let down.
@@oliverjamesatkinson I agree. I know there is a good tabletop game, Kickstarter funded. It's sad what a whore Disney is now. Dark/ish Disney films, like 20k Under the Sea, Scarecrow and Black Hole are beloved classics I adore. I think we'd need a time machine to get a good film. The BBC could def do a creditable minseries, but will never get the rights.
@@oliverjamesatkinson VoxX, no problem. I suppose I should have stipulated: "BBC before it was completely overrun by money grabbing whores" Afraid your argument applies to almost the entirety of the film industry today. These days, I am spending more time mining the past, instead of stumbling from one modern disappointment to another.
Crom and Mitra man! 'Bout time for some new to UA-cam Two Gun Bob Howard yarns! Thanks to ya and may ya be in heaven an hour before the devil knows yer dead.
Dialogue which competes with constant insistant music is made unnecessarily difficult to appreciate. Whereas dialogue with occasional music that sensitively enhances the drama of that chapter is easier to fully appreciate. Thus it was that I sadly gave up listening to the story. The rule for background music is "More is less"! Less background music, especially mind knumbing innane music as in this story, is preferable!
It’s really hard to enjoy these stories because of how suddenly and incredibly racist it can be at times. Almost out of nowhere then the subject is changed back just as quickly. It’s especially bad because it seems like Robert E. Howard is only sprinkling these little bits in just to puff up an ignorant air of white pride and overly defensive nationalism. Pretty sad, it reeks of insecurity. Solomon Kane himself would disapprove.
Hardly, considering the period he was writing in RH non white characters are surprising intelligent and wise often more so than the white hero and the hero acknowledges the fact. It is the white treatment of the so called lesser being they control that often inflames SK,s righteous anger. Yes SK has a white savior trope but that is very surface level. if you look at the story often the Africans save themselves.
Respect. I never heard this particular story before. Wings in the Night is my favorite SK story.

You have no idea how much this comment means! Thank you kindly!
@@oliverjamesatkinson Always happy to encourage a fellow creative. Have you got more SK stories? I'm kind of hooked on his tales at the moment haha.

You did a great job narrating the battle scene near the end. I'm sure Howard himself had such an energetic reading in mind when he wrote it.
Thank you, I'd like to believe he would've approved too! That's really kind.
Simply Fantastic!👏🤓
Well done! This deserves MUCH more attention and praise!
I really appreciate that. More than you know. Thank you for going the length to comment.
This recording is splendid and read with passion, strong work.
Thank you Jason, that means a lot!

Absolutely amazing! ☺👍
Thank you, my friend!
@@oliverjamesatkinson No problem!😁👍 happy Christmas!🎄☃️🎅👍
Solom Kane is great and so is your reading!
Thank you!
Awesome reading!
I'm bummed SK won't get the film, game media of other IPs. I LOVED the Purefoy film and grew up on the pulp novels.

@@milkapeismilky5464 You're right! Sad times.
Crom and Mitra man! 'Bout time for some new to UA-cam Two Gun Bob Howard yarns! Thanks to ya and may ya be in heaven an hour before the devil knows yer dead.
I really want a Solomon Kane game like Witcher but more atmospheric.
Me too! A youtuber called Razorfist did a really good pitch for one.
@@oliverjamesatkinson He has a way with words. 😄
Solomon Kane, read by Batman!
Thank you very much. Well done and very atmospheric.
The first music seems familiar. Is it from Turok?
Cheers dude, big Batman energy :D
Royalty free from Incompetech if I recall :)
i loved Conan and didnt know he wrote these as well oved the movie and would love to see an online game would be awesome :)
Why did you change "white man" to "intelligent man". Read it as it's written.
Probably the edition I had access to; in which I did read it as was written.
@@oliverjamesatkinson fair enough. The del ray prints of Howard's writings have the original words and phrasing. Unfortunate that this one was edited.
@@JohnM-cd4ou Hope you still enjoyed the effort :)
@@oliverjamesatkinson yes thank you. More audiobooks of this stuff need to go up
@@JohnM-cd4ou Any recommendations

Oh look a negative comment
@@oliverjamesatkinson that was also a negative comment...?

You made me throw up at your weakness of reality and time and space
@@NeckNotes Ignorance and bigotry make me sick. That is your weakness.
