Zamora: Desert of Yondo and Ong

RoK p.52n. gives short descriptions of the Desert of Yondo and the city / god of Ong.

Clark Ashton Smith, one of the Big Three from the Weird Tales magazine (besides REH and Lovecraft), wrote a short story "The Abominations of Yondo", which is clearly the original source of the RoK entry (CAS' Yondo is really weird and fantastic, the Hyborian parallel much more realistic).

Does someone know the pastiche that used CAS' idea? Thanks!
