I enjoyed this very much. Very Howard-esque as David says below. It’s a great start to what I hope will be a long running idea. I’m up next. I hope mine is as entertaining as Ben’s tale.
I'll be posting some pretty traditional barbarian beats bad guy stories but I'm very much on the lookout for these kind of unique takes on the genre. And Ben is one of the best at creating something new and intriguing.
Ben is one of my favorite storytellers and always has creative takes on the genre. I have another of his 'Mad' Morwenna Jones pirate tales scheduled for Halloween - it's set in Salem and involves witches...and more cosmic horrors! We're in for a treat.
Oh gosh I LOVED THIS STORY! The mix of real history and eerie fantasy worked perfectly and the characters were vivid and the fascinating 17th cent. colonial N. American backdrop was refreshingly different. So glad there will be more stories about that wonderful Morwenna, and I would also love more stories about Sarangaroro. I am particularly fond of Native American cultures.

I'm going for variety of styles and really enjoyed your Korvix tale that's on deck. More 'traditional' in my mind but what do I know? lol
Robert E. Howard would have been proud of this- it's very much in his style, and the North American location is very unique.

This was an amazing story. Loved the Western Reserve setting and the Serpent Mound. I'm from Ohio. So cool to see that in an S&S tale. JRC

There are a smattering a tales in settings like this if you know where to look. Even so, Crawford has penned another great yarn.
Agreed. He's creative and has a wide array of styles and settings for his stories. Thanks for reading!

Thanks for reading - just now seeing your comment. And yes Morwenna Jones story is set for Halloween!
