Appendix N in the First Edition DMG has a list of suggested reading of the works that helped inspire Dungeons and Dragons. From that list is the "Conan" series by Robert E. Howard.
From the Conan series, I recommend "The Tower of the Elephant" first published in Weird Tales in March of 1933.
This short story resembles the novelization of a first edition D&D module.
Highly recommended reading
About this blog: It provides commentary on D&D focusing on the following systems: BECMI, BX, AD&D, First Edition, Second Edition, and the D&D Rules Cyclopedia. Adventure settings (Forgotten Realms, Dragonlance, Greyhawk, Mystara, Known World, Dark Sun, etc) character classes, dungeon modules, and many other aspects will be looked at. I hope this commentary provides insight for collectors, players, and dungeon masters who enjoy these earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons.
