Publisher's summary

"People of the Dark" by Robert E Howard was published in Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror magazine in June 1932. Narrated by Mike Vendetti, this short audiobook has mystery, terror, violence, time travel, and a love story wrapped into it.

John O'Brian travels to Dagon's Cave to murder Richard Brent for the love of Eleanor Bland. Eleanor is a beautiful blonde who won't commit to Brent or O'Brian so John has decided to settle it for her. The cave is a really creepy place with lots of local myths surrounding it including mysterious Little People, the prehistoric beings of British legend. Celts and Saxons battled in the area for decades.

O'Brian wanders into the cave and manages to fall headlong down a flight of stairs knocking himself unconscious. To say he wasn't himself when he came to is an understatement. He awakens in another era as Conan of the reavers engaged in battle with the Britons. Brent by the way is British. And then there is the half-naked blonde beauty Conan chases to the cave until her lover Vertorix interrupts him.

Imagine their chagrin when they discover the cave is the dread Cavern of the Children of the Night, survivors of the grisly race that inhabited the land before the coming of the Picts and Britons.

Which man will get the girl, or will they? Listen to the story and find out!
