Ok, a couple of years ago, I think I was listening to some Robert E. Howard short stories, and I remember one about a fighter who took on a bunch of serpent men. He was fighting them with a jaw bone or something. He got all bloody, and had blood in his eyes due to how many enemies he dispatched.
Any idea what story this is? I would like to find it and enjoy it again.

Sounds like it might be Valley of the Lost, you can find it in this: www.howardworks.com/horrorstoriesofrobertehoward.htmlThe other famous "man battles Serpent Men" story would be The Shadow Kingdom featuring Kull |

"These Children of the Night seemed not human to us, with their deformed dwarfish bodies, yellow skin and hideous faces. Aye—they were reptiles—vermin." "Bleeding from half a hundred wounds, blinded by a slash across the eyes, I felt a flint knife sink deep into my groin and at the same instant a cudgel laid my scalp open. I went to my knees but reeled up again, and saw in a thick red fog a ring of leering, slant-eyed faces. I lashed out as a dying tiger strikes, and the faces broke in red ruin." |
