We read our first Robert E Howard story, The Slithering Shadow and chat about sexual imagery, dreams vs reality, Conan's grim humour and Egyptian contraception.

Then we sneak, panther-like, into the Gilman House to meet up with guest Brian Murphy. Brian is author of Flame and Crimson, the definitive guide to Sword & Sorcery. We discuss what defines S&S, its impact on popular culture, favourite authors and the Danvers Sanatorium.
