A surprizing tale about the Black Tower and the intrusion therein of a barbarian adventurer—a strange weird tale of the love of a queen for her enemy.
"Duar the Accursed" appeared in the May 1937 issue of "Weird Tales" on pages 541 to 553.
Ball was especially enamored of Robert E Howard's Conan stories. The setting for Duar the Accursed is similar to Howard’s Hyborian Age.
