"The Pool of the Black One" has been my favorite ever since I read it. It goes Full Lovecraft and actually has Conan sail to an entire other realm populated by inhuman monsters. Plus he kills a man just so he can steal his woman. It's fantastic.

I'm reading Borges. That counts as fantasy, right?

Favorite Conan story is "The Pool of the Black One." The whole conceit of leaving Conan's entire world behind and sailing to some distant land populated by THINGS is really interesting, plus the black ones themselves are some of Howard's eeriest creations.

Also, Conan kills the captain of his ship simply because he annoys him. It's great.
