What do you think is going on in Yeen? (Horrible man-ape hybrid mayhaps?)

If you want to know the answer, I recommend reading Robert E. Howard’s stories “Shadows in the Moonlight,” “Xuthal of the Dusk,” “Pool of the Black One,” “The Devil in Iron,” and “Jewels of Gwahlur.”

I assure you, George R.R Martin has read them many times.
