"Red Nails" is the last of the stories about Conan the Cimmerian written by American author Robert E. Howard. A novella, it was originally serialized in "Weird Tales" magazine from July to October 1936. It is set in the pseudo historical Hyborian Age and concerns Conan encountering a lost city in which the degenerate inhabitants are proactively resigned to their own destruction. Due to its grim themes of decay and death, the story is considered a classic of Conan lore and is often cited by Howard scholars as one of his best tales.

Poussant un juron de panique, Conan fit jaillir son épée. "Crom ! Elle est vivante !" À ses mots, les longs cils noirs se soulevèrent et les yeux foncés s'ouvrirent pour le regarder... impénétrables, brillants, mystiques. Il resta ainsi à l'observer, muet de stupéfaction. L'oracle se redressa alors d'un geste souple sans quitter des yeux l'homme qui la regardait, comme ensorcelé. Conan est l'un des personnages de fiction les plus connus au monde. Robert E. Howard l'a créé en 1932 et avec lui, l'heroic fantasy.

This set includes five tales of extraordinary heroism, marvelous intrigue, and exceptional courage that have inspired and amazed people for generations.
