    It seems to me that this is where the Conan animated series of the early 90s drew the inspiration for the snake-men concept from. I loved that show as a kid and the production team did a great job of making a fantasy show for a younger audience while keeping the spirit of the REH fictional universe.
    Great reading as usual of course.

      The Cybrarian awesome to know! And I was going to ask on your new updated video but the comments are turned off but my question is would you guys ever consider doing a narration for Ursula K Le Guin’s Earthsea series’s? Even if you had to do them in parts. Also for shorter stories all in one go works for me cause I listen to hour long story’s while I work. Also in the order that you do playlist for stories I think chronological order in terms of original release is how they should be organized!

      IIRC, Howard himself said that Shadow Kingdom was inspired by the story of Sampson in the bible. But the idea of shapeshifting serpent people is no too unique in myth and folklore. Makes sense, snakes flare up a number of human fears, and it is likely, as with any type fear mongering, the conspiracy theory likely comes from a place of dehumanizing those who are found to be disagreeable.

Robert E Howard has also written another story about that idea the classic story of hero slays reptilian creature. But in regards to the Shadow Kingdom, this very specific story, Robert E Howard cited the story of Samson from the Bible.
