Skulls in the Stars

Title: Skulls in the Stars Author: Robert E. Howard Narrator: Jonathan Dunne Original Publication: 1929 Public Domain: Yes Series: Timeless Terrors Number: 107 Description: Skulls in the Stars is a haunting tale of supernatural horror set along a lonely stretch of rural road where few travelers dare to pass after dark. When a determined frontiersman named Solomon Kane encounters frightened locals avoiding a certain path through the hills, he learns of a sinister legend surrounding a nearby hollow — a place where ghostly lights drift beneath the night sky and an unseen terror stalks the darkness. Refusing to be ruled by fear or superstition, Kane resolves to walk the cursed road himself. As night falls and the stars shine cold above the desolate landscape, he soon discovers that the stories hold a terrible truth. An ancient and restless horror lingers there, born from violence and injustice long buried in the past, waiting for the living to cross its path. In this eerie and atmospheric story, Robert E. Howard blends frontier adventure with chilling supernatural dread. The stark countryside, the creeping sense of menace, and Kane’s grim resolve create a powerful narrative of courage confronting the unknown. Narrated by Amazon-bestselling horror author Jonathan Dunne, this performance brings the tension and dark folklore of Howard’s classic weird tale vividly to life. Skulls in the Stars remains one of the most memorable early adventures of Solomon Kane and a standout example of pulp-era supernatural fiction.
