All of the REH stories, poems, letters
and portions thereof come from Howard's original typescripts, manuscripts,
and carbons. Virtually all of them were scanned from the Glenn Lord
collection, now at the University of Texas, Austin; the Robert E. Howard
collection at Texas A&M University; or the typescript collection at
Cross Plains Library.

Prepared for publication by Ståle

Changes from the First Edition:
|
Added: "Drag"
|
Retitled: "The Sword of Yar Ali
Khan" (poem)
Originally:
Untitled "Now bright, now red, …" (poem)
|
Deleted: "A Biographical Sketch of Robert
E. Howard" by Alvin Earl Perry -
Contains the following REH letter: Letter to Alvin Earl Perry, ca.
early 1935, "The first character I ever created …"
|
| Transcriptions of Howard's typescripts
or previously edited versions of "The Further Adventures of Lal Singh," "Red
Curls and Bobbed Hair," Untitled ("Madge Emeralds on"), Untitled ("The Hades
Saloon"), and "The West Tower" have been restored to typescript. |
In the first edition, a handwritten first
draft was used for "The Tale of the Rajah's Ring";
this edition uses an incomplete typed second draft, finished with the
text from the handwritten first draft. |
All texts are now from REH typescripts
except "Under the Great Tiger," which is from first publication.
