Witchcraft & Sorcery Volume 1 Number 5. Prior to this issue, it was published by Camelot Publishing Company as Coven 13. The company was bought by Fantasy Publishing Company and the name was changed to Witchcraft & Sorcery.
This issue contains MISTRESS OF DEATH. Featuring Agnes de Chastillon. This is the only Dark Agnes story to include a fantasy element, in the form of a sorcerer. It is not written to the same standard as the two stories Howard completed, and features some departures from the established character, making her more stereotypically feminine. The story was not finished by Howard and he wrote two drafts. The story in this issue is based on the second unfinished draft and completed by Gerald W. Page.

The Saga of Faring Town. The three stories were published in Horror Stories, but separated by date of composition rather than thematically. This booklet fixes that and the reader does not lose the mood created by Sea Curse before they encounter the other two stories. This chapbook was provided to Legacy Circle members of the Robert E. Howard Foundation as part of their membership.
