Featuring TURLOGH DUBH O'BRIEN

"Spears of Clontarf" was rejected by SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE and Howard rewrote the story, adding more of a weird atmosphere. 
It was more than just changing a name here and there, he actually rewrote the story, givingit a new title, "The Grey God Passes." 
Under this title it was rejected by WEIRD TALES. 
In hopes of salvaging *something* from the whole affair, REH wrote an entirely new, contemporary horror tale titled "The Cairn on the Headland" which was based on some of the same elements.
Baen published "The Grey God Passes" under its working title, "The Twilight of the Grey Gods"

The typescript is 31 pages.
