Edited by L. Sprague de
Camp
|
"The Bloodstained God" was
originally a Kirby O'Donnell story titled "The Curse of the Crimson
God."
It was re-written by de Camp into a Conan story.
|
"The Snout in the Dark" was
an unpublished REH fragment, which came with a synopsis
for the remainder of the story.
L. Sprague de Camp completed the
story, but was not happy with the result, and gave it to Lin
Carter to revise.
|
The illustrations were added with the 2nd
printing according to Locus #222 (June 1979).
|
There were numerous printings
of this book by Lancer, Prestige, and Ace, perhaps 20 or more printings
total.
Ace had at least 19 printings of CONAN OF CIMMERIA.

The Conan series continued up to
the late 1980's and is the basis for numerous licensed as well as bootleg
non-English editions. The Conan series is by far the most reproduced REH
series in the world. It is quite possible that over one million copies
of this book are in print.
