assuage

 * "Thog has haunted the halls of Xuthal in search of living flesh to assuage the continuing manifestation of his body on the physical plane."

This is ambiguous as written. Is the intended meaning that he must obtain human flesh to maintain his presence on earth? If so, the word assuage is incorrect, as it means "to mitigate or lessen the negative effects of". Heavenlyblue (talk) 21:02, 3 February 2012 (UTC)

The Slithering Shadow versus Xuthal of the Dusk
Look the cover of Weird Tales: the original title was The Slithering Shadow NOT Xuthal of the Dusk. Please fix it in the wiki. COVER: http://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks06/0601051h-images/WeirdTales-1933-09.jpg — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nerun (talk • contribs) 04:11, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Bogus plot
The stuff about Thalis escaping the monster's stomach and Conan tossing the monster's head down the well is boooogus. Why was this written? The entire monster fell into the well and this can be easily verified. "...as suddenly the heaving billowing mass fell away from beneath him, the saber tearing loose and remaining in his locked hand. This hand and arm hung down into space, and far below him the glowing body of the monster was rushing downward like a meteor. " ====
