"El Borak" is the title of two different short stories, neither of which were finished or published within Howard's lifetime. The first story was printed in the chapbook The Coming of El Borak, in September 1987 ("I emptied my revolver..."), while the second story was printed shortly afterwards, in the chapbook North of Khyber, in December 1987 ("Were you ever stranded..."). This second story also features another of Howard's characters, The Sonora Kid. Both chapbooks were published by Cryptic Publications.
