I know that, i was pullin' yer leg Italian Disco!

Howard frequently corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft, and the two would sometimes insert references or elements of each other's settings in their works.
Later editors reworked many of the original Conan stories by Howard, thus diluting this connection.
Nevertheless, many of Howard's unedited Conan stories are arguably part of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Additionally, many of the Conan stories by Howard, de Camp, and Carter used geographical place names from Clark Ashton Smith's Hyperborean Cycle.
