Episode: The Cairn on the Headland | Robert E. Howard | Podcast
Description: The Cairn on the Headland is a short story by Robert E. Howard, first published in the January 1933 issue of Strange Tales of Mystery and Terror. The tale follows two American academics, James O’Brien and Ortali, who visit Grimmin’s Cairn, a centuries-old monument at Clontarf, near Dublin, Ireland. The cairn was raised at the time of King Brian Boru’s defeat of the pagan Viking invaders in 1014 AD. As O’Brien and Ortali explore the cairn, they uncover a dark and malevolent force lurking beneath the ancient stones.Host - M.P. Pellicer<...
