The Gods of Bal-Sagoth (first published in Weird Tales, October 1931) - Also known as The Blond Goddess of Bal-Sagoth, this is a sequel to The Dark Man despite seeing print before that story. This story can be found on Wikisource.Adapted as a Conan story.
The Dark Man (first published in Weird Tales, December 1931) - Turlogh rescues the daughter of late Irish king Brian Boru from Vikings. This story features a cameo of another Howard character, Bran Mak Morn, albeit post-apotheosis as the titular Dark Man. This story can be found on Wikisource.Adapted as a Conan story.
