A scene by Fabian, from Queen of the Black Coast:
"Over all brooded a silence as sinister as that of a sleeping serpent. Belit posed picturesquely among the ruins, the vibrant life in her lithe figure contrasting strangely with the desolation and decay about her. The sun flamed up slowly, sullenly, above the jungle, flooding the towers with a dull gold that left shadows lurking beneath the tottering walls. Belit pointed to a slim round tower that reeled on its rotting base. A broad expanse of cracked, grass-grown slabs led up to it, flanked by fallen columns, and before it stood a massive altar. Belit went swiftly along the ancient floor and stood before it."

Well look at that picture. My goodness. Did you see Tim's Sleestak Sunday? He had boobs on his blog too.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I saw that. Kinda freaky. :)
DeleteIt was, but looks like Lurker's on board with Sleestaks now.
DeleteHey, I didn't know any of the Conan stories were available on line like that! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteLove Fabian - remember his stuff from the Gazetteer series.
