A marvelous rendition of the short story "The Black Stone" by Conan author Robert E. Howard.

The reader does an excellent job of conveying the horror created by the author. It is a brooding tale of suggested horrors finally realized on midsummer's night.

Historically placed a solid tale that falls in with the best of the Lovecraftian lore. "The Black Stone" was first published in the November 1931 issue of Weird Tales. It can also be found in Tales of the Cthulhu Mythos published in the late '60s.
