(worship) (worship) I have pulp envy. It would be truly awesome to have the first appearance of "Red Nails," one of Robert E. Howard's best stories, imo...

The queerest people ever spawned.

 

:shy:

 

:o

 

see? fits right in this thread!

 

When REH first started working on "Red Nails" (originally titled "The Red Flame of Passion") he had this to say about it to his girlfriend Novalyne Price:

 

"Girl, I'm working on a yarn like that now — a Conan yarn. Listen to me. When you have a dying civilization, the normal, accepted life style ain't strong enough to satisfy the damned insatiable appetites of the courtesans and, finally, of all the people. They turn to Lesbianism and things like that to satisfy their desires...I am going to call it 'The Red Flame of Passion."

 

 

I love how he capitalizes Lesbianism.

I'm happy you got this one, Neil.

 

It was probably my biggest missed chance in the FS Forums.

 

Look at that cover. So soft. So supple.

No kidding.

 

Hey, I enjoyed having you over to my building yesterday. It is very rare for any living being to enter my sanctum.

 

Next time I must peer into the Cedar chest...
