As a youth who hails from the same region of Texas as Robert E Howard (whose gloomy hills inspired Cimmerian), I do love that you portray Conan's "harsh, barbaric accent" as American.
well conan is always an outsider, we never encounter any other cimmerians, no story by REH is set in cimmeria, and most of REH settings have old world analogies, so making him sound american always sets him apart from all the other characters (even though over the stories he speaks numerous different languages and none of them english but always with a foreign accent)
What a great murder mystery. The ancient RlRoman influence gives the story a well-rounded exotic taste to it
Audible should hire you to do these professionally, you have the perfect voice for Conan.
we can ask them?
@@TheCybrarian I wonder why they never asked a Scotsman to play Conan considering cimmerians are more like Celts.
He’s better than any of those currently on Audible.
A long time ago, I looked into the requirements for releasing my own audio books on Audible and and on Podio Books. In both cases, there are requirements including how many books you have ready to upload and the audio recording quality. Audible was more focused on the sound quality, and Podio Books more in the size of the library. For both, it was feasible to set up ones own publishing name brand on both platforms.
@@jacobitewiseman3696 Because it is set like 30,000 years before Scotland is a thing.
Each of these Conan audiobooks are better than the last, keep up the fantastic work sir.
"The following may contain violence..."
That's a bit of an understatement :D
🤣🤣🤣 right
As a descendant of Cimmerian and Aesir stock I DEMAND you keep making these videos, especially with the shout
You do perfect justice to Robert E Howard’s work. Conan’s definitely one of my heroes, and hearing this narrated so perfectly is enough to make me smile with joy. You do amazing work with your voice. Thank you for this
This is such a splendid treasure of unparalleled voice acting and you have delivered this with passion. Bravo Cybraian, on perfection!
The original Detective Conan.
Indeed the only Conan story with a mystery /detective theme.
@@RolandWieffering1 Rouges in the house, may count, a wee bit?
@@neildear-wn9eo Not in my library, but available online.
For any 1st ed AD&D fans, the “god” in the bowl could easily be either a Spirit Naga, or a Yuan Ti Abomination. Either would fit perfectly with the story description.
One of my favorite stories, very well done.
Man didn't get the notification!!!
Again fantastic reading REH captures a vision better than almost anyone. Keep up the great work 👍🏻
Thank Mitra! At last someone is giving these amazing stories the life they deserve. No one else I've found has breathed such life into them Thank you Cybrarian 🙏
Second listen. Always a good sign for an audio play! I also like the camp voice of the clerk, lol, excellent.
Impressive how many different voices you make-The test is that they really do sound like different ppl.
Perfect narration of Conan's fiery adventures on a wintry night! Thanks for this escape.
You really are a remarkable voice actor, I must say. I cannot even definitely determine your nationality
He is a Pict for sure. In fact, as a kid, I thought Hadrian was a Scot, who built a wall to keep out the Romans. Only in adulthood, I realised that the Romans who had conquered all of Western Europe built a wall to keep those crazy Scots out! I found that quite funny, being Irish and English. I hope our Scottish pals stay in the union. We would hate to lose them to the civilised Eurocrats.
Excellent! Thoroughly enjoyed this. It has been a long time since I first read the Conan stories and this captures the excitement of them. Great reading, atmosphere and characterisation. Subtle visuals and sound effects work well too.
Damn you're good dude. I've read these stories so many times, and I love your take on them.
What an awesome reading! Thanks for sharing :)
Glad you enjoyed it!
another brilliant reading, thanks so much, looking forward to the next one!
Yet another reason I'm glad I'm too young to get to know Conan from the movie with ARnold. I was able to experience Conan as a fully fleshed out character. Kudos on your work!
We're glad you're enjoying them. Feel free to try our stories by the same author - Kull, Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn. (all on our mature fiction playlist)

absolutely fascinating for me that Robert E. Howard lived only 20 years! and he achieved more then many for 100 years!
*30
I really appreciate the audio panning as a way to distinguish different speakers, I think the guard’s voice might be panned too far to the the left, compared to the other voices.
Thank you. The 100% left pan on the guard does make him seem a lot further away, cheers for the feedback.
Hello there, just wanted to tell you that your audiobooks are really good. Although I am German I've read several stories about this Cimmerian in English and enjoy your audiobooks a lot - great work ☺
Thanks so much for posting these!!
I'm listening to them in the background whilst I revise for my mock exams, and they're helping a lot!
good luck with the exams
great know your back good audio always soothes my jangled nerves and you guys amazing work
yeah, some of the reasons we started the channel, audiobooks have always been calming for anxiety and insomnia etc. glad to help
Fantastic, thanks.
Excellent video! 😎👍
Love the super camp voice of Promero. Did you wear extra-tight pants for the Promero Act?-Brilliant.
Fantastic reading of the story 👏
I must say thank you..I've been commenting as i listen through these. I've listened to the kull ones that i can find. I will say this you have done the best out of the ones I've heard. Yours are basically the only ones that are worth listening too. THANK YOU!!!
This was the soundtrack in my head when I read this stuff at 14 or so. Lancer books. Frazzetta covers. Hours of full entertainment.
Amazing ! Fantastic reading and the sound effects perfect !
This is the very best audio telling of this classic tale that I have ever heard! Excellent!
A great reading of one of my favourite stories, thanks.
Another good job.
Always ecstatic to see you've uploaded.
I like how Conan refers to just about everyone as dogs. He’s so badass he doesn’t need friends
It is odd how REH uses 'dogs' as a generic insult, many characters in his tales use the term, yet he also loves dogs and reminises about his fathers dogs
@@TheCybrarian I think because dog was a huge insult in historical time periods, the same as fool was.
@@domusavires19 absolutely. Like in the TV show deadwood, they should be using terms like nincompoop, which was very insulting at the time, but they modernised it with current terms to give it the same impact
@@TheCybrarianDogs are good beasts but you don't want to be compared to one, save perhaps in terms of loyalty. Though even then, it's a sort of servile loyalty that's unbecoming in men.
Likewise, I have nothing against rats or snakes (snakes in particular are beautiful), though I'd not like to be called a rat or a snake, for reasons that are obvious.
Comparing a higher order creature to a lower one, is generally going to be insulting. Unless specified otherwise, such as in Robert's regular comparison between Conan and panthers. He complements his speed and strength, though were he to simply call Conan a cat, with no further clarification, you might get the impression he's calling him as a pussy. lol
Thanks for the Conan books. You do an awesome job.
I appreciate the amount of work put into this, they didn't have to do that. The images are awesome.
Great reading! captivating delivery, and characterization, and the accent just adds to it all :) - you are really doing Howard's finest creation justice, man! super cool channel, you deserve way more subs, bro!
One of my favourite Conan stories.
Just one thing:
'Why should a man in Stygia send Kalanthes a gift? Ancient gods and queer mummies have come up the caravan roads before, but who loves the priest of Ibis so well in Stygia, where they still worship the arch-demon Set who coils among the tombs in the darkness? The god Ibis has fought Set since the first dawn of the earth, and Kalanthes has fought Set's priests all his life. There is something dark and hidden here.'
For this segment you use the voice of Demetrio, but I think it's Promero speaking here. It's implied by the sentence before this segment: 'Promero turned pale and twisted his thin hands.'
Also the story suggests that Promero, despite being only a clerk, has some knowledge, regarding these ancient things.
Hmmm, we'll need to check this out, we thought it was Demetrio hypothesising (since he is high ranking and educated)
Outstanding!
I enjoyed this very much, thank you! Definitely listening to your other stories!❤
This is the kind of Conan tale meant for the movies, but alas, Hollywood does not like Conan stories by Robert E. Howard. I would make 1 movie containing 2 or 3 short stores by REH. You couldn't go wrong. Same with sequels. This is so well done, I'm super impressed. Performed well beyond my expectations. It shows that Howard was great at witting suspense and intrigue. Remarkable, vivid descriptions. It's a Conan Hitchcock-ian detective tale with a horrific ending. I never saw that Toth-Amon agent coming at the end.
Well many parts of the 1st Conan movie are bits of Robert Howard Stories. But yes, Hollywood doesn't seem in the right mood for it just now.
@@TheCybrarianHollywood cried the 1st one was too violent that's one reason the 2nd one was so watered down. Original writers had a script ready and everything but it was decided to violent. So we got that weak 2nd movie and don't get me started on weak ass momoa trying to be Conan
@@Duck_Dodgers it really is a shame, the first film was part of a 10 movie outline by Oliver Stone and John Milius which sounds amazing.
There is a goldmine of good movie ideas in REH's Conan! Too much toxic masculinity for Hollywood, I guess.
Your work on the Conan stories is truly fun and exceptionally well done. The small sound effects and geographic visuals really create a rich tapestry. Your voice actors are also fabulous. I listen to these stories virtually every day to help speed my work along in the evenings. Quick question are you taking requests for new Conan stories to adapt? If so, would you consider creating one for either the road of the eagles or the servants of bit yakin? Also, if you plan to complete the entire chronology, it would be awesome if you included the interstory material that the two primary editors included between stories in the Ace chronicle publishing series.
Thank you.
We happily accept all suggetions, however stories released posthumously with additional authors are not public domain so we'd need to get permission for them (so they get put to the back of the queue), 'road of eagles' is one of these.
'servants of bit-yakin' (or jewels of gwalur) is an original release so we shall get to that soon.
and we had planned on doing some of the poetry and the history of the hyborian age by Robert Howard.
These are so well done ❤ thank you
Simple Astounding! By Ba’al’s Blue Fire👏🤓
Conan is the best-known character of REH, but he wrote so much more.
Boxing stories, wild West, Detective stories and so on. But unfortunately not everything is in the public domain. I am still looking for the real "complete works of Robert Ervin Howard". Including all the stuff not in the Public Domain.....
I am a great fan of the "pulp genre" as they like to call it. It was a creative period for the writers of those times. People liked to escape from the poor and ugly times they lived in.
Yeah, we do Solomon Kane, Bran Mak Morn, Kull, etc and we've been asked to do many others like Sailor Steve Costigan. Everybody needs escapism. :)
A Conan murder mystery🤣 Perfect 👍
It's hilarious, like old Agatha christie stories, except if anyone tries to arrest the guy that's falsely accused, he'll just beat the freckles off them 🤣
@@TheCybrarian I liked the inquisitor since he was fair enough not to just have Conan killed…Didn’t stop Conan from trying to cut his nuts off tho🤣
I'm sure if he had done it, it'd be more obvious and he prob wouldn't deny it
So I was listening to this on headphones, and I noticed that Arus and maybe one or two other guys’s voices could only be heard in the left ear, while all the others could be heard in both ears.
we pan the diff voices to help differentiate and give a more surround sound audio experience
(this was an earlier story, so we were still tweaking it)
Excellent job, thank you for making this video, been enjoying your content and look forward to seeing what you do next
Thoroughly enjoyable!
Awesome thanks 👍👍
These are great!
Excellent work.
creepy and badass, epic
Conan/Batman!😲😁😎
love the cut of ya jib ya Scots Fkr.,,respect xx
Just think Howard was writing this in his twenties..
What could have been.
I love that Conan sounds like Wolverine from the 90s...
haha, never realised that
Cool is that 😊
Conan the Barbarian stands in a Murder Mystery. It WASN'T the Cimmerian in the chamber with a sword... Nor his bare hands.
it could be a board game, Conan Cluedo, haha
So did Conan kill the god or just hurt it and run away?
Please do more
This one is actually a sort of detective story, a "whodunnit."
totally, though Conan seems to be standing around, not caring whodunnit or that it was done at all, waiting to kill anyone who tries to arrest him, haha
trigger warning for scary voice & scary parts would be appreciated😱😭😱😭😱
apologies, it is in the 'mature fiction' playlist and does have a disclaimer
@@TheCybrarian we should hang out
I just sent you a donation via Paypal. It should hit your account tomorrow. Please let me know you got it. Your stories are an experience.
Confirmed, amount recieved, and thank you so much. Def shout-out for yourself, sir. :)
I do not see this in a list of conan books did it by any chance have a different name?
No other name but, the original version was rejected by pulp magazine Weird Tales in Howard's lifetime and only rediscovered in 1951. It had several edited versions but the unedited, original version wasn't printed til 2002 with Conan of Cimmeria: Volume One (1932-1933).
Be quick Watson. The games afoot!...? I mean Conan
that'd be an awesome crossover, Sherlock babbles on solving the case in the first 3/4 of the story, then Conan cuts everyone to bits at the end, haha
@@TheCybrarian I'm having trouble picturing Sherlock in a loincloth
Love these but what's with the audio level of the watchmans dialogue at the start? Unless you're sitting there "riding the fader" it's almost unlistenable.
yeah, this one is due a remaster treatment
Conan the first man that touches me will be greeting there ancestors in hell lmao, so dark are we sure Conan is not from the DC universe.
still technically marvel, haha
10min
Could you read Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser books?
we've had this request before, and while some of the authors works are in the public domain, the Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser stories are not, so we'd need permission to do those
Conan just nopes a god
very like the end of the first conan movie, the enemy attempts mezmerism, conan say nope...with a sword
@@TheCybrarian haha true but what's a wizard to a son of Set?
