"Cimmerian" to this point in any reading has always been pronounced "Symmerian." Why the change? The reader did slip up once and pronounce it correctly, at least the way I've said it for over 50 years... The pace was rather frenetic at first, noticeably so, but all in all, I'll give it a thumbs-up. There are some truly cringe-worthy readers out in the field.
Sean C. Merlin at your service here, observing that this term notoriously tends to be pronounced differently by US vs. UK dwellers, human or AI alike...so perhaps best to shuffle the deck and mix it up a bit as we go.
- "If you have a sore, it's all your fault she interrupted. "If you had not looked so long and admirably at that Stygian cat". - "Crom and his devils" he swore. "When the oceans drown the world, women will take time for jealousy. Devil take their conceit. Did I tell the Stygian to fall in love with me? After all she was only human". Hilarious😅
Please consider continuing past the first couple minutes as the cadence shifts quite a bit based on how Nigel is expressing the scene, for example, just a few more minutes in he reads much slower to express the gravity of their situation. Either way, thank you for the feedback.
As a non native english speaker I too disagree. It can be a personal preference, but I rather enjoy this tempo. Much slower than that whitch we had to endure in english class and final exams 😅
You have really brought Conan to life. These stories are amazing!
Thank you! :)
That ending 😂
Conan is the ultimate Chad
This is my first adventure with you, well met friend. You did a great job with this great story.
On to our next adventure !
Well met indeed, thank you friend.
that shore through flesh and bone.
One of my favorites
saber shore through it again and again.
a bursting of contration and expansion.
dimly limned in an eerie glowing.
half-cursing half-gasping of straining agony.

He hove the body over the curb/kerb.
his breath came in whistling gaspings between his teeth.
with a snarling of disgust.
Aww so it’s a town that lives off ambien.

@39:58, Death by snu-snu? 39:58 😮😮😅
GREAT ❤🤓❗🗡️
that could have been bred only .....
jugular vein.
with a defiant shaking of his dripping saber/sabre.
Why make gerund of "drip" and not of "shake"? Consistency! Honor the Gerund! (not you but writers)
It's one of my favorite REH stories . The only irritating part was the narrator not pronouncing the word "Cimmerian" properly 😒. What the hell!!
not bad hope I dont make ya mad when I redo this but I will wait awhile not cool to step on another's work blatantly.
How'd it go?
Cimmerian… is SIMMERIAN….
Sorry
Thanks
Turns out it isn't but your pronunciation is more intuitive for sure
@@audiobooky 🍻 Thank you for your work, passion, and patience.
Many grateful listeners🤓
"Sim Merian" not "Kim Marian"

was appalling to be beheld.
His hairy breast, glistening with sweat and blood, hove with his panting.
Good narrative.
shore clear through the black viscous bulk.
encircled his limbs and body.
fangs and talons rending his flesh.
Slow down a bit, I'm barely a minute in an calling it quits because it sounds like you're trying to read it as fast as possible.

When I listen to it I click on the gear wheel in the lower right of the playing screen, and set the speed to .75.
Hard disagree. The speed is perfect for me. I think this is just personal preference bro

Chance speed to 0.75
she found her voice in a shrieking.
Cimmerian
SIM-marry-on.... Not KIM-merry-on
a convulsive shuddering hove the vast bulk.
