The Dead Remember

This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice. Texas, 1877. A cowhand named Jim Gordon writes out a statement for whoever finds it, because he does not expect to live much longer.

On the trail north with a herd, drunk and quarrelsome, he shot a Black couple on a lonely stretch of country: a man and his wife, the latter a woman known along the trail for her conjure work. Before she died she laid a curse on him, promising that the dead do not forget and that he would not see the year out. Since then everything he touches has gone wrong, and the thing following him is getting closer.

First published in Argosy in 1936, The Dead Remember is one of the last stories Robert E. Howard completed before his death. Told entirely through letters and sworn statements, it is a lean, merciless tale of frontier horror and inescapable retribution from the creator of Conan the Barbarian.
