- The Cairn on the Headland is a short story by American writer Robert E. Howard, with elements of fantasy and horror. As often in Howard stories, there is a link to the Cthulhu Mythos, in this case mixed also with elements of both Norse Mythology and Catholic Christianity. It has a rather convoluted history, being in effect an adaptation of Howard's earlier story Spears of Clontarf, a historical adventure story by Howard focusing on the Battle of Clontarf (1014) and featuring Turlogh Dubh O'Brien or Black Turlogh, a fictional 11th Century Irishman created by Howard. Howard later rewrote "Spears" as "The Grey God Passes", which was very similar to Spears of Clontarf, but with added fantasy elements. Howard failed to sell the story in either version during his lifetime. "The Cairn on the Headland" (Howard's third version of Spears of Clontarf) was a horror story set in the present, and succeeded in getting published in Strange Tales (January, 1933). It was later reprinted in August Derleth's Skull-Face and Others, as well as in Lancer Books' paperback collection Wolfshead. (The Grey God Passes was posthumously published in a 1962 Arkham House hardcover Dark Minds, Dark Heart, while Spears of Clontarf was finally published in an eponymous 1978 chapbook). (en)
- Le Cairn de Grimmin (titre original : The Cairn on the Headland) est une nouvelle de l'auteur américain Robert E. Howard qui comporte des éléments de fantasy et d'horreur. Comme souvent dans l'œuvre d'Howard, elle est liée au mythe de Cthulhu tout en empruntant dans son cas à des motifs issus aussi bien de la mythologie scandinave que du catholicisme. Il s'agit d'une réécriture dans un cadre contemporain de la nouvelle Les Lances de Clontarf, une aventure historique de refusée par Weird Tales. Dans le cadre de la réédition par des textes d'Howard, ce récit appartient au recueil Les Guerriers du Valhalla.
