The Story of Robert E. Howard's CONAN. Part 2 - The Scarlet Citadel

Robert E. Howard comes in sword swinging with a yarn packed with action and horror in THE SCARLET CITADEL. By now, Conan was a powerful figure in REH's mind, and hints of Hyborian adventures to come.
Not only does Howard take us on a near-Shakespearean drama of double crosses, he also invents the dungeon crawl for future Dungeons and Dragons nerds Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson.
