Beyond the Black River
by Robert E. Howard
An interesting book. I struggled with the book of it because if one was to erase the name Conan and some of these stranger place names you could literally take this tale and put it into Old West or even the frontier prior to the Revolutionary War. I was a bit perplexed by Conan in this story. At times he seemed like an educated gentleman and then other times he became a ferocious savage. I know the writer was attempting to show us a character with death but sometimes the flip and switch between educated bourgeoisie and wild and ferocious savage was so stark that it jolted me out of the story.
