Notes
Edited by Rob Roehm
First appearance: "Graveyard Rats" (draft)
First printing limited to 150 copies. Subsequent printings of 50 copies each up to a total of 300 copies.
The titling of "The People of the Serpent" and "Teeth of Doom" is an attempt to get the names fixed after the magazine they were both published in got the names mixed up.
The February 1934 issue of STRANGE DETECTIVE STORIES carried two stories by REH: "The Tomb's Secret" and "Fangs of Gold." It appears that the story titles were inadvertently switched. Howard's agent, Otis Adelbert Kline, kept a list of titles and the magazines that purchased them. Above "The Teeth of Doom" on Kline's list, someone added "The Tomb's Secret."
Above "The People of the Serpent" on Kline's list, someone added "Fangs of Gold."
