|
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."
