Summary
A surprizing tale about the Black Tower and the intrusion therein of a barbarian adventurer—a strange weird tale of the love of a queen for her enemy. "Duar the Accursed" appeared in the May 1937 issue of "Weird Tales" on pages 541 to 553. Ball was especially enamored of Robert E Howard's Conan stories. The setting for Duar the Accursed is similar to Howard’s Hyborian Age. ----- Clifford Nankivell Ball (January 24, 1908, New York, New York – January 1947, Baltimore, Maryland) was an American fantasy writer whose primary distinction was having been one of the earliest post-Howard writers in the sword and sorcery subgenre of fantasy. He wrote as Clifford Ball. ----- If there's a story you'd like me to narrate, or a genre you'd like me to include more of, please let me know at [email protected] . ----- Music : "Mesmerizing Galaxy" Kevin MacLeod ( incompetech.com ).
