Introduction

Fantastic Universe Volume 5 Number 3.

Contains THE BLOOD-STAINED GOD by Howard and L. Sprague de Camp. Originally a Kirby O’Donnell story titled ‘The Trail of the Blood-Stained God’. It was re-written by L. Sprague de Camp into a Conan story titled ‘The Bloodstained God’. De Camp changed the names of the characters, added the sorcery elements, and recast the setting into Howard’s Hyborian Age.
