Summary
Shadows in the Moonlight (also known as Iron Shadows in the Moon) is one of Robert E.
Howard’s classic Conan the Cimmerian stories, first published in Weird Tales in 1934.
The tale follows Conan and Olivia, a noblewoman fleeing captivity, as they find themselves on a seemingly deserted island inhabited by eerie statues and haunted by ancient, lurking horrors.
Combining sword-and-sorcery action, gothic atmosphere, and Howard’s flair for the macabre, the story exemplifies the pulpy, fast-paced adventures that made Conan an enduring figure in fantasy literature.
