Crossover Cover: The Valley of the Worm

 

In this story by Robert E. Howard, James Allison recounts how his past incarnation, the warrior Niord, slew the monstrous snake Satha.  In Howard’s “The Scarlet Citadel,” published in the January 1933 issue of Weird Tales, Conan slew a snake called Satha whose description is identical to the serpent killed by Niord. “The Valley of the Worm” takes place long before the Hyborian Age. Satha must have been resurrected through sorcery after his death at Niord’s hands, only to be slaughtered once more by Conan. The connection to Conan brings Howard’s James Allison stories into the CU.]
