History
First publication: Weird Tales, July 1925
Review
This is Howard’s first story published in Weird Tales. It is not a very accurate portrayal of neaderthal man and the story is simple with simple characters. It’s okay as far as plot and writing, but I feel it shows that Howard was not yet a mature writer.
