Red Nails

By Robert E. Howard

“Red Nails,” a novella, compromises the last of the tales that feature Howards most well-known character Conan the Cimmerian. As with Hour of the Dragon, “Red Nails” originally appeared in “Weird Tales” in serial format from July through October 1936. Many Conan Aficionados consider this one of Howard’s definitive texts that define the essence of Conan mythology. I first started reading Conan books when I was in grade school. I read everything I could get my hands on by Robert E. Howard as a young lad.

Description

Plot overview from Wikipedia:

“Red Nails” begins in the jungles far to the south of any known civilized or barbarian lands, where Valeria of the Red Brotherhood and Conan (her would-be lover) are set upon by a “dragon” (actually a dinosaur, though described with the characteristics of a stegosaurus and an allosaur) that mauls their horses. The pair retreat to a crag the monster cannot scale, but has no food or water. Conan recognizes some poisonous fruit growing nearby; they coat the tip of a spear with its juice, and pierce the jaws of the monster with it. Although blinded, the raging monster pursues them by their scent. Overtaken, Conan whirls to face the beast and lures it to its death.
