Remember how the other day I said one of my plans for 2026 was to read the new Conan The Barbarian novels published by Titan? Well, another one has been announced and so gets added to the list.
Conan: The Brides of Crom, written by John Langan, the Bram Stoker Award winning author of the supernatural horror novel The Fisherman, is scheduled for publication on July 21.
On the day he was born, warriors attacked Conan’s village in Cimmeria, kidnapping children before fleeing. The villagers pursued the raiders and exterminated them to a man. But they were too late. The children were already dead.
Fourteen years later, Conan and his cousin Ruardih visit the site of the massacre, finding strange artefacts and feeling a dreadful unease as they near the cursed village. Upon their arrival, they are greeted by the corpses of the damned.
Despite the portents, Conan and Ruaridh continue exploring the village. Met with bizarre and arcane creatures, they will stumble upon darknesses that should not have been revisited.
What is this strange place? Who were the mysterious raiders who attacked the village? And why did they sacrifice innocent children? The answers lie deeper in the mountains, and Conan will chase them into the dark, whatever the cost.
