Ervin"
Alternate Title: THE TOMB'S SECRET
The February
1934 issue of
STRANGE DETECTIVE
STORIES carried
two stories by REH: "The
Tomb's Secret" and

that the story titles

Howard's agent,
Otis Adelbert
Kline, kept a list
of titles and the
magazines that purchased
them.
Above "The Teeth
of Doom" on
Kline's list,
someone added "The
Tomb's Secret."
Above
"The People of the
Serpent" on Kline's
list, someone
added "Fangs of
Gold."

of three untitled
stories:
untitled
story ("I had just
hung ..."), untitled story

Alternate Title: THE FLAME-KNIFE
Featuring EL BORAK
There is both a
long (42,000 words)
and a short
(24,000 words) version
of this story.
Records
from the Kline
Agency also say
there is a 12 page
version of this
story, much shorter
than the known two
versions.
Unfortunately, if a 12 page version
does exist it is either lost or it
could be an incomplete version of one of the six
known drafts for the story.
The first printing
of the short
version was heavily
edited by the
editor (Byron Roark)
and those changes were
copied by THE NEW HOWARD
READER #7 when it reprinted
the story
in Spring 2000.
The first
clean version
of the story was
in EL BORAK AND OTHER
DESERT ADVENTURES.
The short
version was offered
by Otis Adelbert
Kline to TOP-NOTCH,
ADVENTURE,
COMPLETE STORIES, DIME
ADVENTURE, THRILLING
ADVENTURE,
and NEW MYSTERY ADVENTURES.
There were
no takers.
The long version
was offered
to ARGOSY, BLUE
BOOK, SHORT STORIES,
SUN and ADVENTURE
NOVELS. Again, there
were no takers.
Kline
and later agents
retained both of
the original typescripts
and they were
eventually donated
to Cross Plains Library.

When the original

Title:
THE
SPEARS OF CLONTARF
(a non-fantastic
version)
"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, giving it 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"
