Rogues in the Candlelight. This is a title Howard mentioned in a letter to an unknown recipient. The letter was never sent and is numbered 368 in Collected Letters of Robert E. Howard Volume 3 and starts with (“I’m writing mainly . . .”). Here he mentions that he was thinking of using for a pirate story. It is unknown if he ever did or not. There is no other record of it.
I’m writing mainly to find out about a title. I’m figuring on writing a pirate tale and I want to title it Rogues in the Candlelight. Do you know if that title’s ever been used?
